I know he is probably in his last year. He is falling more often. Not a lot but enough that senior set up is happening today even in the temporary cage. No real signs of severe arthritis or pain. His grip just isn't quite as a strong. No signs of MBD. So its just... adjusting to being older I...

Not much difference than standard of care than perhaps how I feed and the fact that he gets natural sunlight a minimum of one time a week. He gets a shower once a week now too that started about 1.5 to two years ago. He just needs to tank up occasionally. I dont use foggers at all. Have a really...

I got Neptune as a rescue about... 9ish years ago. So him being marked at 18 months-2 years when I got him makes sense and I know he was an adult and stunted from his original home

Not a typo. He is not much older than I originally though he was at late 9-early 10 years old. He has signs of mild arthritis but nothing bad enough for meds, he has less strength in his grip but no signs of pain. Definitely needs to be set up for his next year or two. He is very very old. It's...

So this will overall be the enclosure thread of the WIP and finished product while I work on Neptune's cage. But I also wanted to update people with his health. He went to our new exotic vet whom I love a lot (our move has been very successful). We have decided not to move him to his new cage...

There are some research articles Kinyonga found for me that I need to go over (when I'm not in the last week of packing). If I learn anything I will let you know. But if no information presents itself solidly I will follow your advice <3. I make my own dry chow/gutload(well I will be doing so...

Ah thanks so much! Saved me an annoying issue for sure, lol. Will stick with the 6% then for my old man. I am sure he won't complain since arcadia is an upgrade in general from the reptisun (not that is changes too much). He gets cali sun once to twice a week anyway so he lives a spoiled life...

Aw you are so sweet <3 seriously your articles are so interesting and a huge help to me in the desert of scietific papers that I ran across

I was actually looking for information for dietary supplements with insects so this is great! Thank you >.< sometimes finding research articles is so hard and you always seem to have them right on hand

He is definitely showing signs of his age. Slowing down, potential signs of arthritis (we are going to the vet with him probably the first few months after we move as long as there isnt an emergency for some reason) We had a big weight loss episode before i realized he has been losing his sight...

God coming back to the forum to hear this is hard. I looked forward to the little bit of info you shared of both your lives during your holiday cards but also through the forum. I am so so sorry Jann. Take your time. Focus on what makes you happy. Remember he would want you to be happy.

Hi Jann! Its great to see you. I will need to give you my new address for your letters (don't let me forget) lol. Yeah i am excited to be back, be functional, and moving forward with life again <3 How is everyone at yours?

So... this may be a question with no answer. But i do wonder if feeding things like repashy or a multivit supplement in small doses to feeder insects is safe or even changes things? It hasn't impacted my colonies over the years I have done it but they get maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon every week or...

Thanks so much for the congrats Jeremy. Neptune is just a few months shy of turning 10 years old so I am sure the adjustment will be a big one for him but I am very hopeful he will settle in and enjoy it quickly.

Hey guys! Its been ages once more. Life decided to make it hard and i dropped off the face of the earth a bit... again lol. Anyways, we are moving and thus deciding to upgrade a lot of enclosures. One of the upgrades is my chameleon cage. I still have Neptune and am hoping the grumpy boy will...
