    planted vivarium.. to clean or not to clean!

    Most of them escaped I think, as they simply disappeared. One died when I accidentally shut the lid on it :( and the other was the very last one I had, which I moved into a kritter keeper to redo the cage, and she lasted maybe two weeks, and I hadn't finished the main cage yet. I think it...

    planted vivarium.. to clean or not to clean!

    Well.. this is what I'm asking :) I didn't bleach anything or remove any dirt when planting new plants. I rinsed off the branches in hot water, and I may have wiped the leaves down of the one plant that the holaspis did come in contact with, as well as the cork bark on the ground. I don't...

    planted vivarium.. to clean or not to clean!

    Hello everyone! I have a vivarium I planted up originally for wc holaspis lizards. However these have since died or escaped (disappeared somehow). It has been about a year since they were in there, and I have since redecorated: added new plants, glued in a corkbark background, glued in some...

    water treatment and reptiles

    What do you guys use for water for your reptiles? I have been trying to figure out what is 'right' and what might be harmful. Thanks :D

    colubrid bin size

    I know it has been awhile since this post, but I finally got bins. I ended up going with a rubbermaid 41qt with dimensions of 29x18x6h. They have latch handles which I will need to remove, but otherwise seem to be pretty good. I can't find them online anywhere, or I'd put a link to them :) I...

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    was afraid you'd say that :\ I am going to wait till he sheds before I take him again. At least I wont' have to pay for more benebac :roll:

    uva/uvb florescent light strengths, etc

    I think the main difference between these bulbs is the depth to which the uvb goes into the cage. 10.0 goes the farthest, I think that one is 12+ inches down. The 5.0 is the next best, probably about 8-12 inches down. I would use a 5.0 for a ten gallon sized cage, and a 10.0 for a 20 gallon...

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    Ok.. sorry for the frustration in my last post. I have new pictures for everyone. These were taken yesterday. He is about to shed, which explains the muted colors and hopefully the odd raised-looking scales.

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    I am frustrated. The kink is not going away and I am running out of baytril. I am beginning to think I should never have bought this snake, running to the vet is costing me more than I would have paid for a healthy snake from a breeder.

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    Ok, well new pic about a week and a half into the medication. I'll post the old pic after it to show any differences (doing this as much for me as for you guys xD) New pic: Old pic: I guess after looking at the preview it does seem quite a bit better. I can still feel the kink there, but...

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    Yeah, the vet said to give it to him/her for two weeks and then call him if its not better.

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    Yeah I know. I didn't see much improvement the past day or so.. seems to not be having convulsions when i stick the baytril in his mouth tho.. lol.

    new thayeri.. with an issue..

    Wow. I sure hope my snake's kink goes away too. I think the baytril is doing some good.. the vent looks quite a bit better today. a lot more normal. However the tail is still kinked.. just gotta be patient I hope :) He sure HATES the taste of baytril. I try to follow it with the benebac...
