It could have started as a physical injury and then became infected over time, or the injury could have been more extensive than it seemed at first glace. Eye and face injuries can be really weird. I've got a lot more experience with cats than with reptiles, but some of the stuff I've seen has...
It looks like he has swelling not just of his eye, but also his crest and cheeks? (I'm still pretty new to this.) Antibiotics sometimes take a little tweaking to find the right one if a culture isn't done to figure out which bacteria you're dealing with. Don't give up! The doc will probably want...
It takes six hours and table salt to double check it's working correctly, and they can fail randomly. I test all of mine monthly and replace as needed. I work with hermit crabs, and I've watched so many people pull their hair out over low humidity when it was just a bad gauge the entire time...
1 to 2 crickets a day is not nearly enough! At 4 months he should be getting 10 to 12 every day. He's probably going after bark and plants because he's hungry. Here's the care sheet for Panthers which outlines how much they should be getting at different growth stages...
As someone who cares for multiple species across the animal kingdom - chams really are a bit of a headache. They are not a 'eh, today's overloaded, I'll deal with it tomorrow' type pet. Other species like snakes or geckos you can skip a couple days of care (so long as they have water) if...
I am so past mad right now! It took me two months to get that many going. I had finally reached a number where I was going to stop pupating for a while.
I gave them one chunk of orange last night, peeled. It was the same orange I gave to the crickets, mealworms, and my millipedes. Everything...
The video has been removed or set to private on Facebook. I really hope no one followed them over to FB to post disparaging things. :( I've seen that happen elsewhere and it never ends well - for the OP, for the group, or for the animal that needs care.
Oh, that poor guy. I think mine was treated the same way, but the MBD left her so weak she never put up a fight. I think I sort of lucked out in that she was so hungry she would take whatever I gave her in any situation. She sees me pick up that feeding cup now (4oz Solo cup the supers came in...
.......Anyone else ever had to cut knots out of their hair after trying to recreate Leia's non-bun hairdos as a kid?
And Lathas - it was Data for me. :D

I've seen umbilical hernias in kittens that presented in the same way. In a mild form it can be just the fat layer that falls through, but if the tear is large then part of or entire organs can slip through the muscle wall and be held in place by just the skin. So long as the skin is intact and...
Back in 2000 I needed a new AOL s/n because, ya know, high school drama. I wanted Clover and hated using numerals, so tried to find something similar. Was helping a friend on a middle English project and settled on wode sorel, thinking it meant wood sorrel, aka oxalis. I've been using it as my...
Do you think the wax is necessary? I had found a guide online with instructions saying wheat bran, honey and glycerin, so that's what my first 4 jars are filled with. I'm hoping it works.
Also, do you ever find yourself with escapees? A friend of mine tried it not expecting to get anything...
The can die easily with moisture in the container. I'm actually having a ton pupate just by leaving them in the bedding and keeping them warm - around 80-85 degrees. If they're full sized they'll go on their own. If they're still tiny you'll probably have to feed them honey to fatten them up...
