Thanks. We will keep a close watch on coloration. We monitor basking area with a analog thermometer, temp stayed largely the same. Temp is also monitored via 1 digital and 1 addtional analog in other parts of the cage. Though, Yosh was excited about sprayer and went quite close to it, witch...

Hi everyone, we put in a new heat bulb and got a little worried when we saw a couple of Orange spots on his crest and a little further up his snout. We thought this might be a slight burn. Unfortunately we just updated Yoshi to a brand new mistking system, and i think he may have went closer to...

My apologies for not replying earlier about the turtle drops. She said that giving the eye a cleaning with pure saline was more advisable then the turtle drops because it can be unpredictable what exactly is in the turtle drops depending on what brand and where you got them from. Also, in this...

Hey! We used the dusting powder when we first got Yoshi but he didn't seem to like it. Wouldn't want to eat the insects if he could see it on there. We switched to the liquid stuff and it seems to work just fine. We put a few drops on a feeder and he goes right for it. Just an option if you...

Hey there! I have the exact same tank and it's worked out great for our little guy. We have to use it because we can't keep temps stable. He has never seemed put off by it and I find the vents to a great job. The air never smells stale or anything. Our little guy has never been intimidated by...

I don't have a hibiscus BUT there is a hibiscus outside that he hangs out on. I'm freaking out as to whether they bite and if this is the case then that might explain the eye issue. I noticed them on him when he was outside on the hibiscus I guess the big question is whether they are in the...

This is just an update on our situation with Yoshi that I wanted to share. His eye is still bothering him and once off the metacam he began to close it again and it appeared somewhat sunken. The area where the agitation and crust-like stuff is still on his right eye as in the most recent photo...

We use a kitchen scale to weigh yoshi. Put a towel and tare it. Then he can climb on and your reading will be pretty accurate. You can probly find one for 30$ or less.

Hello everyone! We just wanted to post an update on our little guy. We went back to the vet on Friday because the eye was actually looking somewhat sunken in and he seemed lethargic and grouchy which she thought was likely due to his discomfort. The vet gave Yoshi Metacam for 3 days which seems...

Worried about our little guys right eye! Thanks everyone for the support and help.

Hi Everyone, So we are still struggling with this eye problem. There is so much conflicting information and when we took him to the vet she thought it was probably related to a shedding issue because it was pretty dry and flaky at this point, but when she cleaned the socket with saline it...

I appreciate your input as an established member of the forum. We will keep everyone posted after the vet visit on monday. Thanks!!

Thank you for your input. His eye is completly mobile and has not lost any function. No obvious pokes or scratches. He has been in the same enclosure for 6 months or so.

Hi everyone. We managed to get a decent picture of what the concerned area is. it took two of us. The skin is discolored (grey) and appears to be tender. We were able to remove a small amount of debris from the top, looked like skin. Please offer your advise. Thank you

I guess it is somewhat difficult to tell. Hopefully this isn't overkill but I'm reposting a photo with a box around the affected area so hopefully someone can see what I am talking about. When he moves his eye to the side you can see inside the socket is somewhat puffy. It is definitely...

Hi everyone, Yesterday my fiancé noticed what looks like a possible eye infection. We have made a vet appointment for him but the earliest they had with their reptile specialist was Monday. Any info or opinions on what this is/what we can do would be greatly appreciated. I have read different...

We provide our little guy with lots of hornworms, super worms and crickets gutloaded with a variety of wet and dry fruit/veg but despite out best efforts we have never seen him touch a cricket. Then today we notice that it looks like he has basically made friends with them. Any suggestions as a...

Thanks! I figured any cost cutting measure at this point would be great seeing as this guy has seriously expensive taste in food!
