[Aussiethedragon]

Thank you all so mutch for helping .i could not have come up with out y'all and he may have been blinded. It is defiantly K P C!!! his eyes are semi swollen but he is actually walking around and looking at me. He is on a diet of green squash pumpkin and dandy lion greans for his live food it's crickets 1/4 inch and Phoenix
And as a treat weekly fresh ly molted mini meal worms. He has pooped science his bath this morning it was good to no runs.

THANKS to ...
KristenM for helping me all the way throug this mess and not giving up on us
Tonja for info
Diamc for being so friendly and very good advice

THIS is why we all came here to begin with. I'm so happy you're on the right track. No thanks needed (appreciated, of course) but just share the information you gathered from this experience! Always help the next person who comes along with the same signs

 

[diamc]

That's what we're here for. That's good that he is walking around & looking at you. If you need anymore info about the thermometer, choices for soothing his eyes, UVB, etc, let us know. Right now the main thing is getting accurate temps and to help out his eyes.

Good that you're using those greens/veggies. Crickets & phoenix worms are good. There really isn't much nutritional value in mealworms though, even the freshly molted ones. Please be sure you don't feed any that aren't freshly molted because they have a hard chitin shell that is hard for them to digest.

Hopefully he'll be doing even better tomorrow. Please let us know when you get the new thermometer so we can tell you just how to use it.

The New UVB UVA light im getting is a flooresent compact called repti sun will that work

 

[diamc]

Sorry to have to tell you this, but unfortunately the compact UVB's, even the Repti-Sun 10.0 aren't good. They also can cause P-K-C and other health issues. This is the one you want:

Heat bulb is proper for a 40 g oh and I'm geting every thing I near on Wednesday
From carpet to cage I'm geting it thanks for help .

 

[Aussiethedragon]

Oh and the place I'm buying from has a type called exo Tera for a ton cheaper Is this one suit ible too!

 

[diamc]

NO, the Exo Terra brand tube is the Repti-GLO, you want the Repti-SUN made by Zoo Med.
