Me too. Aside from his paralyzed back end he was healthy looking.
However, about a few days back he had a bought of vomiting. After that he showed no interest in eating live feeders at all so I had to help him eat. Today he ate one small live dubia and I thought there was hope he would get back...
Unfortunately I have some sad news. Blaze passed away unexpectedly. I was at work. My boyfriend took him outside in his hand for about 5 minutes, then brought him back in under his heat lamp. He seemed fine until later he started having convulsions and passed away. The strange thing is he has...
Blaze this morning. Raised the lamp up because it was too hot for him ( discovered after a series of thermal tests ) Removed his lid for easy access. Tried to pull the plastic cover off the UVB ballast and succeeded....in breaking it off. Oops. Lol
I have a Zilla Slimline Desert Fixture T8 18 inch 50 UVB and a 100 watt Intense Basking Spotlight bulb. Tank is now over 100 degree's on the warm side. I dust the feeders with Rep-Cal Multivitamin. I don't understand, what's wrong with Zilla? It seems like the Zoo Med and Zilla brands of UVB...
Got him a better lamp and the temp in his tank is up now. He's become way more mobile. The pet store associate recommended I feed him Beardie Buffet mix so I bought some of that and a thermometer. The associate examined him and said aside from the MBD in his hind end he seems fairly healthy. He...
So it turns out the basking spot is not nearly hot enough for the little guy. I was talking to a friend who has lizards who is going to help me get him a 100 watt heat lamp for a reasonable price. And a thermostat. My friend is taking me and Blaze to a pet store called the Serpentarium to get...
Gave Blaze a bath in the sink. He seemed to enjoy it. He can't swim, he just kinda floats. Had to keep my hand under him so his head wouldn't go under. I gently massaged and flexed his back legs a little. Then I held him in my hand and let the water drip and pool in my hand and to my surprise he...
He's moving his back legs a little now. Not sure if that's a good sign considering there was no reaction in his legs before or if he's just having little tremors (which I read is a symptom of MBD.) I also notice his toes twitch a little randomly. He has strength in his front legs but his back...
Blazes new set up with a new UVB light. Offered him a salad of blueberries, spinach, strawberries with meal worms topped with multivitamin. He ate a few meal worms then hauled himself up under his heat lamp. He's already way more perky and alert than he was.
I had some one else tell me his condition may be too far gone to help him cause I mentioned he has trouble climbing and he easily slips. Since he can't seem to get his back legs to cooperate he can't right himself. He's like a turtle. :/
So the lamp I got is a Zilla Light and Heat Halogen Mini Dome.
I bought him some blueberries to try. He wasn't too keen on them, I practically had to stuff a small piece in his mouth but he ate it. He was fed up before I brought him home so maybe he's just not hungry? How often should I offer...
I see. I forget what kind of lamp I got but I don't know if it's a UVB. I'll check when I get home. I'll probably have to take it back and swap it out....
Sooo, today I went to Petco intending to buy crickets for my girls and ran into an adoption event. I ended up coming home with more than just crickets however. I adopted this guy, a skinny, neglected little beardy named Blaze. He has issues with his legs due to improper care, but I talked to a...
So about a month ago I posted a for sale thread for my MM Bumba Cabocla. He's since been sold. I'll admit I was very slow in updating his status to sold on the thread but in my defense I've been extremely busy and forgot. I'd like reply to my thread and say he's been sold so I'll stop getting...
Woke up this morning and she had already started webbing. I think the rehousing has been a success. Thank you all for your advice and suggestions, they were all valued, considered and taken to heart. :)
