[mickeysmomma]

I would have a fecal test done...could be paracites.

 

[bplakers]

there is no vet around here that see reptiles. i live n a small town in iowa. is there anything that i could give her as if she has paracites that wouldn't hurt her?

 

[mickeysmomma]

let me ask a friend of mine that breeds dragons, unless someone else on here can answer.

 

[bplakers]

thank you i would appreciate that.

 

[spurlee01]

Usually dog and cat vets can diagnose parasites and then you can give us the count and someone should be able to get you hooked up with the right medicine and dosage. I would recommend you take the sand out as this can be a breeding ground for parasites. You mention that you have a coil UVB bulb? The coil bulbs often cause eye problems. What brand is the tube bulb you have? You should only need 1 UVB light, not 2.

 

[bplakers]

the tube ones i have are just grow lamps i dont know if they actually have uvb n em or not im pretty sure they dont i just put them in there because its a big cage and needed more light. exo-terra repti glow 10.0. and when i said coil it looks like the energy efficent bulbs if thats what a coil bulb is.

 

[spurlee01]

Yes, that is a coil and unfortunately that bulb has caused numerous problems. I would highly recommend you change it out for the reptiSUN 10.0

 

[bplakers]

she just ate a piece of corn and a piece of green bean but there was crickets in there eating on veggies and she didnt even seem interested in them at all. just by changing type of light would make a differnce i dont see why they sell stuff thats gona hurt them.

 

[spurlee01]

Yes just changing lights can make a big difference. It is frustrating to many of us that there are dangerous products on the market.

 

[bplakers]

can that vary from dragon to dragon because my other one has same light and he doesnt seem to be having any problems. ima try to find somewhere to take one of her stools tomorrow and see if any stores around here have that brand of light if not order it off internet.

 

[spurlee01]

Well it can very from dragon to dragon, but be aware your other one may not be getting enough UVB which can lead to long-term problems. www.petmountain.com has a great price on the reptisun 10.0. Make sure it is a long tube and not a coil.

 

[crickest]

you can also find a list of recommended foods and how frequently you can feed them (I wouldn't feed corn) at www.beautifuldragons.com/nutrition. It has been a life send for me, you should check it out.

Shes doing fine now the past couple days shes been eating her lil butt off and i didnt change anything. i wonder if she had some type of a dragon flu bug or something? idk. I read that after they puke sometime they wont eat for awhile because it takes them time to get fluids built back up in stomach. Thanks for all advice.
