Re: snake food is pregnant! help!

Not only does the male not play a role in care giving, but if it isn't the father of those particular babies, the male will kill them. That is a brutal thing to learn by error. I remember that being...

Re: Substrate advice for bearded dragon bioactive enclosure

While I very much agree with your use of live plants with the enclosure, I have to warn you about bothering with the prickly pear. Mine usually lasted about a week maybe? They are apparently quite...

Re: Help

How much did she weigh before this and what does she weigh now? How old is she? How long has it been since she last ate? Have you made any changes to her enclosure or food?

Re: Trying to figure out what this is in my enclosure

Actually, it would be of no concern if it happened right away after you set it up. If its happening after a year of having the enclosure set up, then its a bit of a concern. These blooms only really...

Re: Bio Active Desert Enclosure

For my desert lizards, I simply increased the sand content a bit more. So around a 60:40 mix. I would also add some charcoal or small pebbles and a bit of humic content (coir, peat, etc) to keep the...

Re: I need so sav help!

Yes, you can have the eggs removed and her reproductive organs as well at the same time. This will keep her from developing eggs in the future, thus taking away the risk of future stasis.

Re: Anyone else can't get to varanustalk/ varanus forums?

No, there is a problem with his servers. It's being worked on but some of the site may have been lost. He is on it though.

Re: Sulcata growth rate?

Also, keep in mind who will take over its care when you die. This animal will outlive you if cared for properly.

Re: I need so sav help!

Eggs would not necessarily show up on an xray, depending on the xray. That one doesnt look very high powered, so could easily miss eggs. As all other indications seem to point to egg laying...

Re: Uromastyx help!

Ya, I would definitely talk to the breeder you bought her from. Two months is pretty young still to sell uros. They dont develop as quickly as other lizards in my experience, so its not great to sell...

Re: Uromastyx help!

Thats more than just dehydrated, especially if it was eating for you before. I would guess parasites but youll need someone to take a look at the little one. Sounds like its time for a trip to the...

Re: Homemade bearded dragon food/pellets?

Agreed, everything you feed them, whether insect or plant, should be fresh. Pellets mean they require a great deal of moisture to process/digest

Re: Savannah monitor care question.

Yes there are studies to show that dietary Vit D is neither as effective or as long lived in the blood.

Re: Bearded Dragon - Setup Questions

Id recommend skipping the beechwood or any other type of wood chip. Many of us have gone with bioactive soil like you probably used on your bosc. I always go that way with all my reptiles as its the...

Re: mercury vapor bulb questions?

I would not recommend that particular brand if you decide to go with an MVB. Typically the Fluker and Exoterra brands do not last long at all (3-4 months) and are more spot lights rather than flood,...

Re: Burns?

Generally speaking they are slightly red from a burn. Yellow is normally caused by things like fungal or bacterial infection. However, it could just be natural colour change too. As Albert said its a...

Re: Repti-links for reptiles - Alternative food source for reptiles

Unless Im mistaken, I remembered them saying that all organs except the intestines were included. They cant include the intestines because of bacterial infection.

Re: Mites?

If you dont want to use chemicals you can buy predatory mites (Hypoaspis or even Phytoseiulus sp) online. They will hunt down all your snake mites and then die off when they run out of prey. They...

Re: Is there a rule for this?

I would recommend using a frame for that size no matter what. You could use 2x4 for the long braces and get away with 2x2s for the short runs. If you are building that cave, I'd use a run of 2x2 for...

Ive never had an MBK, but if they are anything like their Cali cousins, you'll likely find that you want to go deeper, to be honest. My Cali king burrows and digs so much that Ive gone up to 6-8...
