first time kobys ever been sick omg what do i do :(

[Iowuk]

he is sheding and has been for ages its been about over month now he had 8crix yesterday lights are ok etc in the sick was bits of crix any clue whats going on i hope hes ok coz im makeing him a 6foot tank its going um be really good help

 

[Buggsy]

ok well lets go through your set up:

Firstly what UVB are you using?
What temps have you got?
What are you measuring them with?
Have you had a fecal done recently?

Sometimes they can just gorge and make themselves sick, but 8 crix isnt that much at all.

 

[Iowuk]

im not being nasty but i said my setup is fine i no it is as i have done this more than 4 times and im not doing it again and the most crix he has ever had is 20 where i like isle of wight uk and i no loads of people who have dragons and most off them are on sand etc and there eatin the same and mines on tiles. Most of the time he is fine he comes out ov his viv runs about for hours and goes back when he want he just goes up his ramp etc

 

[Buggsy]

well im only trying to help, its hard to know what to fix when i dont know what may be wrong, low temps can cause them to throw up, i said i didnt think he pigd out.

It may also be parasite, if you cant go over the set up thats all i can tell you, sorry. Perhaps if your sure the tank is fine, give it a day then take him to the vets.

he eats 8 some days but loads others he will eat a hole tub of locusts but i want him to eat more crix but hes ok im sure he just had a bad tummy for some reason we all do

 

[MissT]

Throwing up is not something normal. It usually doesnt happen unless there is a problem somewhere else! As Buggsy said, temps and parasites and 2 very common causes of vomitting. And either cause needs attention!!

 

[Iowuk]

so when he is sick if its not parasites what temps will make him sick i would av thought to hot ?

 

[MissT]

too cool could also make him sick as he wont be able to digest properly.

Have you had a fecal checked recently?

 

[fresnowitte]

Most times it's temps to low that cause them to vomit up undigested food. They must be at a minimum of 95* for digestion however some may need higher.

 

[Iowuk]

his temps basking is 107 warm side 94ish and cool side is 76ish and uv is arcadia 12. crix size is large little bit smaller than the gap between his eyes no substrate just tiles i have bamboo root as climbin bit and a water fountian with no water ill post pic in a min

 

[Buggsy]

What are you using to measure the temps? is it a digital one with a probe??

 

[Iowuk]

yes but i used a pros one and it was the same reading and i used a gun and it was the same he is so active he is out now and hes runnin about etc

 

[Iowuk]

what about stress ? Could that make him sick he is fine now
