Last good photo post-eggs I have of her. I really am going to miss this look of disdain.

After successfully laying a ton (59!) eggs, it was obvious that she was fully recovered and doing well enough to find her a permanent home. A friend of a friend has a thing for rescues like I do, and has a few other MBD reptiles. She left about an hour ago with Jane. I feel very comfortable...

I have someone adopting her next weekend. :)

I've been thinking about doing this for a while - I have health problems that have been making it hard to keep up with her on a daily basis, and am now looking at possibly having spinal surgery. She's my only herp that requires specific daily care, and I don't want anything to happen to her due...

An xray and blood work would be the best diagnostic. That will show bone density and blood calcium levels and let you know if she's getting enough calcium now and how remineralized her bones have become. You may be able to keep the levels in the blood at the right amount with just dusting, but...

I've been giving her supers injected with RescueCal+ since I got it a few weeks ago, but that was also when she had cut back on eating. Bad timing, of course! Just like with the geckos.

It wasn't my goal to have her do this, but she does have a history of large clutches despite 70 degree temps and being fed once a week. Do the eggs look normal? Most are the size of a jelly bean / bean seed. A few are the size of dried peas.

I'm hoping it's just weakness, I checked on her and she was on her side, legs in the air, not holding onto anything and tangled in the hanging plant. I got her free and she squeezed my finger hard. Got her back onto her 'normal' branch. Seems alert at least. I though for sure when I saw her legs...

She acted normal for maybe a week, and then yesterday she started digging. Spent all night in her hole laying, and has been burying them all day. I'm hoping she'll sleep in her normal spot tonight. All that work getting her weight back to healthy, and it was all eggs! :confused: She looks as...

My vets office was unable to order it a little over a month ago. None of their suppliers carried it either. I had to order RescueCal + directly from Repashy. It's supposed to be the same formulation as calcium glubionate but with no flavorings or dyes and I think less sugars. Shipping was decent...

With the Chameleon I nearly lost my crap on the woman. She new better, she just couldn't be bothered. The cham and the two leopard geckos and even the freaking hermit crab I got from her were 50% underweight, dehydrated and in completely incorrect environments. She wasn't even going by what the...

I got the Nature's Care at Home Depot where they have the indoor plants and orchid supplies.

Seed starter is a really basic medium with no extras - it's meant to be plain so that the seedlings don't jump start and then fizzle out because they grew too fast. I've had hit and miss luck with starting in seeds in that particular product - some years it's good, other's it's not. I would not...

I'm not sure if any of them are good enough as the only physical sign she was showing was bowing of the legs, but you are welcome to use any of the photos of my veiled Jane from the thread here...

I'm not sure what the recommended dosing is for chameleons, but my vet prescribed two doses of panacur, 4 weeks apart. With most parasites, it takes at least two rounds to remove them completely, in any animal.

Grr. I peeked around the corner and she was at the very bottom. :( I'll go in after lights out to make sure everything in that room has food and water, and then stay out of there completely tomorrow. Fingers crossed she tries again.

Crap! I was getting the cricket bin ready for a new batch, walked into the critter room, and she was digging in the bin... I ran outta there! Hoping it wasn't enough to scare her off. Won't be going back in until after lights out.

Dropped the temp to 72 at the bottom, no change in behaviour - some nights she's up, but most of the time is spent down on the ground. She's showing very little interest in food the last three days, usually she comes running to the treat cup and now she won't eat from it. She is still taking...

Why does the caresheet for Veileds here say 75-80 ambient for females, then? It is 85 under the UVB light, exactly as the caresheet advises. Everything I've read said to never have the entire bottom covered in loose substrate, due to drainage and bacterial and impaction issues??? She has a...

The previous owner wouldn't/couldn't tell me. All I know is that she's had two clutches in her life and they were huge ones at around 50 eggs. (If what she said could be believed - know that she was starved, dehydrated and without any heat source or UVB for both!) I'm assuming she's due, but so...
