mouth rot
hi guys with reference to mouth rot in reptiles. is commonly caused by low temps signs of mouth rot are a substance in the mouth that looks a bit like cottage cheese in the mouth a few years ago one of my snakes had it. i hadnt had it long about a week when i noticed the animal...
the plants i bought today have little green plastic rings with a cut in them their springy enough to hold the branches together without being noticable but i think you could buy some garden tie wire its green and you can twist it to fix not too tight though.
2 for a quid plants are the same only smaller plants the one i bought is nearl 4ft tall and dead bushy (needed a bit of a hair cut) that was the giant house plant the other plants (i only bought 2) are aprox 2ft tall but no where near as bushy but fantastic for filling in those little bare spots...

hi manik. thanks for your input i already looked at the search side of things and couldnt find what i was looking for ie there was only three references directly refering to substrate. i have no intention of cutting my viv to bits in order to create drainage!! so wont be looking for advice on...
hi lilly ive sent you a personal post with my e-mail address many thanks. bare looks so horrible. i really like your idea of the tiles, now i know what sort of things to look out for it makes it much easier, i agree bare cages look awfull. i think i may be able to sort something out and maybe...
obviously the safety element has to take priority there is no point in buying a cham only then to in effect kill it and thats not what im about. do you think it is possible to create a floor like they do on these model railways taking into mind toxicity of glue etc.
hi everyone.
i have taken your advises on substrate and removed the wood chip, but does any one have any remarks to make about what could be used to cover the viv bottom as i would like it look as natural as i can do you think dry leaves would be ok?. i now understand about small particules...
oh happy days lol. i think when you say roaming behaviour this is exactly what it is.
she doesnt spend much time actually on the floor as in she cant get back up but is very active up and down top to bottom all the time and has virually given up eating seems to be preoccupied if you know what i...
lol oh happy days. it may be just me being really over cautious but yeah your description of roaming behaviour fits, ive noted something similar when i kept snakes its almost a sense of urgency but i think ive provided for her needs. at 1st i thought it was me leaving the door open a bit but i...
hi pssh yes photos very recent all within 5 days of each other she doesnt really spend time on the floor more like a visit to look around she has been trying to prise the glass to slide open bizzare i know but having watched her she deliberately goes for the edge of the glass and positiones...
hi manik6 many thanks for your input gratefully recieved. substrate now out cheers. i had provided a larger laying bin it had been in the viv about a week but the shop i got her from suggested a shoe box as this was what she had laid in previously so i down sized with the hope that would do the...
