Should be white or roughly the color of uric acid. Bright yellow can occur occasionally or due to chronic wasting and muscle tissue digestion. Make sure he's not losing weight.
I haven't been too happy with the exoterra solar glo bulbs so I'm looking for something better... Has anyone had any experience with Mega Rays? I've heard they're really good, But I want to make sure. Pros? Cons? Anyone raised a hatchling with one?
I just wanted to let everyone know that if you're in the Phoenix, AZ area and you've got any exotic animal, I highly recommend Dr. Todd Driggers from the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic of Arizona. His services are fairly priced; his 15 years of experience and knowledge is priceless. He now has...
Just remember that even with enough calcium, if there is too much phosphorus, the body will switch into a negative metabolic state. If 2:1 calcium to phosphorus is not kept, parathyroid hormone is released from the thyroid gland and osteoclasts are activated in the bone, weakening the body...
Same temps here, but around 40% humidity. The reason I'm wondering is that Sapphire recently developed a twitch that both me and the herp vet are stunned to have found (Solar glo kicking out 115 lumens of UV, diet of almost all mice, temps between 85 and 100) and I want to make sure that her...
Since about a week ago I've noticed Sapphire sleeping in pretty late. Normally she wakes up at exactly 8:00 but recently she's been walking out at 9:30, then laying still for another hour before basking. After that her activity levels are great, appetite is great, etc. Has anyone else noticed...
Nice! I'd talk to an experienced keeper about burrow construction; it's way more complicated than one would think (drainage, angle of the sun compared to angle of burrow, depth and humidity, etc. etc. etc.)
If you do, adopt from a herp society or rescue organization. Way too many sulacatas are bred and many of them are surrendered to game and fish by the truckload... Plus, they're usually cheaper that way (depending on the adoption fee).
They are hilarious, aren't they? Group feeding is especially fun to watch... They really have their own personalities. Sexual aggression isn't typically too nasty, but its never fun to be in the way of a tenacious, excited reptile that can weigh as much as you do. They usually try to rape...
Just be ready to deal with a 125 lb sexually aggressive tortoise that can and will dig a burrow under your house foundation. I feed about 100 of them at Phoenix Herpetological and they're quite a handful... You just really need to be ready to feed someone that large and pay for a lot of mobile...
I need some advice here. Sapphire is now 14" and I'm looking for a cage mate for her. Bobby has a 15" b&w that he has offered to me who I have both the time and space for (they would share Sapphire's 6'x7' which is currently sectioned off into a 6'x3' that she's staying in until she grows a bit...
I'm bringing this thread back to life! Bobby says 70% humidity is ideal, so I wouldn't be worried. A few questions about the fogger:
1. How long does a 2-liter last?
2. Where did you get the hygrotherm and fogger and what was the cost?
3. Is it loud when it turns on?
4. Is the hygrotherm...
