After being re-homed to me roughly 7 weeks ago due to a need for medical care, Mabel is still overcoming a few obstacles.

Her vet initially prescribed us a round of antibiotics to successfully treat GI Protozoa and an advanced case of mouth rot she is still slowly healing from. After the clear stool sample, we got the all clear to transition to naturalistic substrate!

Around this time, symptoms of a respiratory infection started to appear despite her temperature and humidity levels staying within the recommended ranges.

After another trip to the vet, we have a second round of antibiotics to kick this infection get her back to 100%. She is doing well with gentle assist feeding to retain weight, but I’m hopeful she will develop a natural appetite and hunting instincts in the future as well.

I know she hadn’t ate for at least a day because she was shipped over night to me from a reputable breeder with great reviews off morph market. She seems happy now after getting in enclosure and exploring now taking a nap.

He's a little turd butt. With his cuteness though, all is forgiven.

The vet couldn’t get her in until next Friday. She’s always had this slightly raised mouth line that I used to think was mouth rot but vet said it wasn’t. (For years) Now there has developed a hard bump protruding from her lip in the same area and I’m not sure it’s mouth rot or an abscess from a tooth or something since she has had that weird gumline for a long time. Any advice on what it could be? She’s an African fat tail but their sub isn’t well used

Un bagnetto tiepido al giorno fino al
prossimo controllo. Facciamo scorrere una piccola massa fecale. Speriamo!

Like the title says, my new juvenile chahoua is not eating or drinking. I got it 9 days ago and this is its temporary enclosure (only 19 grams right now). Should I be concerned? I don’t see any poop either. It doesn’t run or hide when I mist or change out the food. Currently using Pangea watermelon but haven’t tried live insects yet. I moved the food bowl just now towards the middle, wedged between the branches as I’m wondering if the left side is too open. Thoughts?

Edit: current temp is 77.6, humidity is 54%. I mist heavily every night too

My favorite wild gecko, who hangs out by my door, came into my house and ran under an immovable piece of furniture. Are there any tricks I can use to lure him out (and put him back outside)? Its been hours and I'm at a loss.

Hey all! My first gecko/reptile, a eurydactylodes vieillardi, arrives tomorrow morning and I could not be more excited! I have a vet appointment for them Friday with a fantastic exotic vet and I'm just wondering what to expect for the appointment. The client coordinator said a big portion will be going over my husbandry but not sure what else is gonna happen. Thanks!!
