We had Gonzo to a new vet on Saturday due to the irractic behavior, not eating or pooping (except only urate today) . He said Gonzo looked good and gave a few suggestions that we have already done. If Gonzo does not eat or poop within a few more days we may take him back for an xray. I absolutely love this vet. He is strictly reptiles and even used to breed etc. also. He was so informative and helpful and really cares about the exotics.
We did ask about the sex and he said it was hard to tell on Gonzo but due to the size of the femoral pores he would say female. He did say he felt a bump on each lower side of her belly and since you usually cant feel the kidneys because of their placement he said there may be a few eggs.
Regards to a lay box. We got some topsoil today. My question is do you just put a plastic container with the mixture in the tank off to one side for her to get in as she wants or keep the lay box outside of the tank and put the beardie in every so often? If she doesn't want bothered with it at all does that mean she isn't going to lay? I really don't understand the process.
I also received a new infrared Temp gun today. Love it! I did have to dim the light on the basking side a little bit to lower the temp. How cool should it be on the other side?
Thanks in advance
