Alhazen growing up

I might give that a try then and see how he does with time. Taking him out into some good sunlight might help as well. I've heard that it can help stimulate the appetite.

A long shower couldn't hurt. I give my young Veiled 20 min showers once a week, sometimes skipping weeks, because I'm paranoid about dehydration even though he looks great and has white urates lol. Squishy feeders like hornworms that are high in water content are also good. Will he eat...

He might also just need time. Depending on the amount of coccidia, the treatment can be hard on them, even with the more "gentle" medicines. How is he hydration wise?

The bad thing about antibiotics is that they wipe out any good gut bacteria along with the bad bacteria. I've heard of some people using reptile focused probiotics to help replenish good gut bacteria, which can help with appetite, but I'm not entirely certain how successful it is. It sounds good...

I've been using an Arcadia 12%, which is stronger than the 10.0, for my Veiled since he was the size of my thumb and he's doing very well. He loves basking right under the UVB fixture, flattened and soaking it up. He has plenty of space in his 48x24x24 to get out of the UV if he wants, but he...

With a full belly he won't stay small for long!

It almost seems like it would be better to have something horizontally oriented, then have that on a tall shelf so they get that height they want. I know I'm likely going to be getting Al the larger Dragon Strand atrium as he gets older. Already he uses the entire cage and I can't imagine he'll...

My thinking would be to offer the stronger light, but maybe plant more heavily and offer cover throughout the enclosure, giving a few open spots for her to bask. Some of the more experienced montane keepers can chime in though. You could also ask Todd at LYR to see what he thinks. What size...

That was likely a female depositing eggs. I've had most luck with my breeding colony when adding a small section of branch for them to lay eggs on, especially something like oak with rougher bark. Just make sure there aren't any ants or other insects on it. The males are a bit smaller than the...

Gorbash is the best name, lol. Fire skinks and Crocodile skinks have been on my list for a while, but I've heard similar warnings about how easy it is to stress Crocodile skinks, so I'll likely give them a pass.

The good part is that I think a Yellowfoot would take great to outside living in PR if a secure outdoor pen was constructed. Then she wouldn't have to worry about lighting or heat like inside. I think if you explain that it sort of fell into your care that they'll be understanding, lol. I hope...

That is such an important point, and one I can't help thinking of. I had no husbandry knowledge about chameleons when I agreed to take in the rescue, and I had not owned a healthy chameleon to see what behavior was normal, and what was from illness and pain. He went to the vet every other week...

The linear tube Zoomed Reptisun bulbs are the best of the pet store brands available here in the US, but Arcadia is better. The problem is that getting Arcadia bulbs can be difficult here in the States. There are only a few people shipping them in from Europe, one of them being Todd from...
