Hey, Im starting to really get into reptiles and wanting to own them. What should be my first reptile. I'm honestly not into bearded dragons or leopard geckos. I found an interest in Leachie geckos and I thought they were really cool. Can anyone put me on to another cool reptile or show me how to keep or what type of leachie I should get. Thank you!
These guys NEED a new safe home asap. I don’t have any room and can’t afford to pick them up but I refuse to stand by and hope someone will come across the post
From what I can tell there is 2 juvenile bearded dragons and 1 adult bearded dragon all together in a 20 gallon tank.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THEM
This is Mustard. He is a Yellow Niger Uro and i am a first time Uro owner. I am unsure if this is just shed or if his tail is rotting? I have read that it is possible if their humidity is too high and their shed gets stuck. His humidity is at 20%, and i have 2 humidifiers, one in my room next to his tank and one reptile humidifier in his tank to assure it is not too wet in there for him! I have looked up photos of tail rot and every photo online seems to be very extreme, and i want to make sure that he is taken care of or if he does have it that i am catching it early!! I also clean his tank of food and poop every other day as it is usually not dirty enough to be cleaned every day! Thank you!
My boy managed to scratch his eye off something and currently has his eye basically glued shut, I live in Ireland (cork area) and there’s basically 0 knowledgeable vets that I could bring him to. I’ll be calling around to get him looked at wherever I can regardless but anytime ive had reptile issues ive been turned away due to lack of competent exotic vets.
Does anyone have any advice on how to help him until I can get him brought to a vet tomorrow.
It happened sometime today between the hours of 3pm and 7pm, I snapped a picture of him at 3pm and his eye was completely fine and when I went to feed him I noticed the eye was clearly damaged, he did open it for a short while to which the eye was clear and looking a little bloodshot but was still intact and didn’t look damaged outside of the discolouration.
I wasn’t able to get any photos of the eye open due to him keeping it shut himself
His substrate is a mix of soil, sand and 10% coco husk,
There are a few rocks but all smooth and some small bits of wood in the enclosure. Enclosure is a 4x18x18 hes approximately 2 years old and has never had any previous issues health wise
There was no blood anywhere i could see beside the seemingly dried blood by his eye.
The 3rd photo was taken at 3pm and the 4th photo is weeks old but just showing his non damaged eye
Photo 1 and 2 are both of his damaged eye
I just noticed these wierd white dots in my bioactive crested gecko's enclosure. Are they eggs of some sort? Mold?
I apologize for the bad picture, I’ve noticed he hasn’t seemed to be able to see out of his left eye for the past week, and it looks white/ cloudy. I just now looked at him while he was asleep and his eyelid was pretty swollen/ puffy looking. I’m wondering if anyone knows what this could be/ what it’s from. He has proper uvb and heat, calcium supplements and vitamins, good variety of vegetables and occasional bugs. I also don’t know if this is a emergency and i should take him to the vet immediately, Im going to try to take him as soon as possible but if anyone has any advice that would be appreciated!
I just set it up but its so bare? I dont know what else to put in it and what type of real plants should go in?
I am ready for the backlash, but do pythons really need a water bowl? My girl here is going on 3 years old, and when I first got her, I followed the care guides and provided a water dish for soaking drinking etc. problem is I rarely rarely ever have seen her in the dish, and I have never ever seen her drink water. I have even tried placing foliage about the water dish to make her more comfortable /hidden there, but nothing. eventually I stopped providing a water dish. I mist the tank everyday, I have a humid and dry gradient, I have hides that are more humid, and after 2 years, I have never seen any s/s of dehydration in my python. What do y’all think?
This is my girl Mushu, she is 3 years old and generally has been healthy other than a few things her entire life. She had parasites as a baby that I got treated and her poop has been weird almost her entire life, even though I am sure I feed her a healthy diet.
About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed her fat pads on her head were really sunken, so I took her to the vet. They tested her poop and it came back negative for any parasites, and the vet said otherwise her body condition was perfect and she has maintained the same weight since last year.
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or noticed something like this before, shes still very active and has a great appetite, running around my room whenever she can and she always has a salad with greens (mustard, turnip, or collard), bell pepper, and butternut squash. I feed her crickets from Flukers and I got some hornworms when I noticed the sunken fat pads.
Another note: she almost always has stress marks on her stomach, but her heat is consistently between 80-100 F depending on the side of her enclosure and her humidity stays between 25-40, but typically in the middle.
Any ideas? I don't want something serious to go unnoticed
