except those aren't even his hip joints. nor is it anywhere near his hemipenes, which are below the cloaca, not above.
this is a classic case of a little knowledge going way too far and becoming dangerous. this has ZERO presentation of articular gout, and the odds of it being visceral gout...
so the entire batch is infertile....all eggs have mildewed. it remains unknown whether the AI attempt didn't take, or if it was an everyday infertile clutch.
if i'm in the situation again where the male "misses" and i can collect the sperm i will certainly try again, and if i have enough...
fwiw, the drops you were prescribed are likely excellent at killing the bacteria; however my concern is the residual effect/contact time is really quite brief. if it's working, great! if slow to heal, i would ask the vet if the drops are available in an ointment form which will stay on the...
almost 60 days to the day she laid these 24 eggs. of course i didn't try to breed her again to see if the AI took, and she certainly took the attitude of a gravid female. if i showed her a male in the meantime she would go black, hissy and pissy.
the eggs looked so-so, some a bit smaller...
IME this are very few times when ANY animal sold at a pet shop is as healthy as ones raised by good breeders (I'm including dogs and virtually all other pets). additionally they are often ridiculously priced. either way too much, or way too little for some sickly animal.
as a veterinarian I...
my condolences...she certainly was special! as you said, it was surprising that she lived as long as she did. but her little star shined brightly! I'm glad she had a comfortable life, and that you were able to experience something unusual.
i have the opposite--a tiny little girl who won’t breed FS—can we call her a “shefail”? :D
Jim, happy to work w/ you anytime. besides basic necropsy, histopath of the repro organs would be critical. i can speak to one of the labs that i use and see if anyone’s interest is sparked enough to...
i’ve paid $100-$500+ for panthers. the most expensive females that i’ve ever bought ($400 & $450) from specific lines never gave me egg one….but i understand there’s no guarantees in this hobby!
$60-120 for carpets, WC vs. CBB.

i had tried it w/ several chams a few years back w/ no real success. i tried the ball tips and the open types. if i had a bottle that dripped slowly i did have chams lick at the leaves where they drops went, but never had success w/ any drinking from the bottles directly. however, obviously some...
Personally i use Armstrong for almost all crix. they are FAST to FL, and although ferret has listed their $15.95 shipping price, they often drop the price to just $5.95!! that might be old or a summer price, but i have seen them go back and forth between the two costs over the past few years.
wow, i think that color is awesome!! i personally agree that green is a very “safe” color for them. i have had chams that didn’t like certain colored feeder bowels, but green was never an issue. all of my bowls are now green! and also the reason i wound up using this material for cage dividers-
lots of good points! I would estimate that half of the females I have sold have been for pet purposes, the others dedicated breeders.
and Jim, I have no doubt that if I went through one male and one female necropsy with you, you would forever be able to differentiate testes from eggs. as...
