    Somethings Wrong! HELP!!

    post up the diet ur feeding her. Do you give her calcium supplementation on a daily basis? what brand of supplement is it? how close is your UV light? I noticed my Reptar had a twitch one day and it scared the crap out of me with the whole frequent occurrence of MBD in reptiles. I was reassured...

    Day at the pool

    haha i couldn't be more pleased with reptar! I think i might have a problem though, i seem to be wanting an addition to the family! which, from this site, i feel is the norm. I believe an extreme giant is in order for next spring, once i get out of this apartment and into a house. This is quite...

    Day at the pool

    Reptar has been waking up and staying awake longer and longer. He's been basking for the past couple of days. Today I got him out and about and we lounged together by the poolside. He was basking on my stomach for a good hour until he started waking up and getting energetic. Even after basking...

    first leopard

    Jcrunk, you need to check yourself bro. no need to freak out. She had a point for being concerned, your original post was vague enough to be confused with an irresponsible action. There's no room in this forum for talk like that.

    WAKE UP...Update SHE IS UP!

    Re: WAKE UP I consulted with my local reptile shop before anything, and he said since its so late in his hibernation that it wouldn't make a difference. It seems to come down to preference. Do you know of any health issues associated with the assistance of waking a gu in such a late stage of...

    thats odd....

    On the flip side, if you choose to do a water thaw, that's totally fine. Run COOL water over the ziplock which contains your rodent, and let the water run for as long as necessary. Do not use hot water; you want to eliminate as much possibility of bacterial growth. I thaw my rodents with hot...

    thats odd....

    How did you thaw overnight? Did you let them thaw out in room temperature? thats a big no no. I work in the food industry, and theres whats called the danger zone. its between the degrees of 41F and 150F (or right around there). The point is that if you want to go for a natural thaw. Move your...

    WAKE UP...Update SHE IS UP!

    Re: WAKE UP Reptar is still hibernating. I've been going in everyday, and digging him out and chilling with him for about an hour or so. I take him outside (arizona) to get some sun and just play with him. And then i put him back in his cage, and he usually goes right to bed. Today we were on...
