I'd be interested to know your thoughts for sure. He's still hanging on. Although, he vomited up some horrible smelling greenish liquid today, I'm guessing it's bile. I talked to a couple of vet's offices, they all said the same thing, which was just keep him comfortable and leave him be.
I'm sure there's a million of these posts, I'm sorry. My Panther Cham Groot is 5 years old now, and he's feeling his age. My plan was to just let him die peacefully on his tree, and not have his final moments be stressful in a vet's office with a needle, but I don't know if I'm doing the right...
This indeed hurts to hear. This is not my post, but I lost my female about two weeks ago to this same thing.
I knew enough to leave her alone, but since *I knew* she was too early to lay, I didn't give her enough privacy.
If I ever decide to do the breeding thing again, the female will just...
A few may remember my post almost 2 weeks ago, asking for help for my little Panther Cham girl. She fell Ill on a Sunday morning and passed away the next morning. I've learned some things so I thought I'd share.
1. When you read that females lay their eggs close to 30 days after breeding...
Cages are EASY to build. 2x2's, screen/hardware cloth (plastic or metal) (Plasti-dip spray if metal), jigsaw for cutting wood, drill for screws, staple gun... Easy!
Samesies. Hose nozzles set at mist setting can get you through the super hot in the shade days. And it's just awesome.
I've got my boy set up so he gets morning sun and then afternoon shade. I'm available to check on him multiple times a day, which is comforting. Knowing the heat stress...
I built a cage very similar to this. I Plasti-dip sprayed the hardware cloth. After a year, it's still holding up.
I like the cage, just go over every inch and make sure nothing is loose, sticking out, or rotted. Make sure the door can be secured.
If you have him outside, you must make...
She didn't make it. Thank you all for your help, I thought you'd want an update. Today was just too late.
I'm going to go take a break from here for a few days, then I'll be back with a story.
Thanks again.
On the contrary good sir. I haven't left her side since this started. I will fight to the end, but that doesn't mean I'm not realistic about her situation.
I'm sorry Mike, my mind is all over the place. The leaves have no pestacides. Hard water is a possibility, but none of the others have it.
She mated with the male which I saw, on June 11th. I've had the laying bin in there since a week after. The substrate is a mix of play sand, reptile...
Thank you.
As it turns out, Sunday is the worst day for a reptile to get sick around here. I'm very fortunate to have 2 very good reptile vets in the area any other day of the week.
I feel so helpless.
I've been keeping her outside. That white isn't on every leaf, just a few.
Laying bin looks good, not too wet, but still holds a tunnel.
She just pooped on me, an undigested superworm head and few segments came out along with some tan-yellow goo. The odor coming from my hand smells like...
