I have a basking lamp set up over her sitting spot and i have lights running the length of her enclosure with the correct uvb and uva and whatever the other is. I'm 71yrs old and have to many letters coming at me. I really love my "mango" and don't want anything to happen to her. I am thinking I may need to warm it up some. Her basking rock is a dark Simi reddish color with some dark spots. The dark spots,maybe half inch by 3 inch, are about 105 but lighter spots are 95-97. Her back ,when she's there is an even 100. I just took her cover off and she seems alert and fine ,so I left her. It's been 3 days ,almost 4 since she ate anything. At first I thought she was eating her greens at night, but I'm changing them now and she hasn't touched them. Should I just pull her out and treat her as normal or just not worry about it???
Dragons do not eat at night they should not be fed less than 2-3 hrs before lights out- surface basking temps should be 95-100 take w/ a digital probe thermometer- bulb should be a solid clear bright white basking bulb - no off white or yellowish or daytime bulbs - uvb should be a long tube fixture like a zoo med - Arcadia pro T 5 or a sunblaster nano tech - placement and distance will be determined bybthe screen on thd tank-- dragons don't need to be covered at night - night time temps should be 65-75 ambient
Ok. Please just assume alls well that way. How and what do I do with her? Leave her alone or get her out?
Thank you. First clear answer I've gotten.
Howdy! I am beginning to worry. She still hasn't come out. I lifted her hide today and she is alive, but I don't know what to do. I'm afraid she's dying. Is she brumating? Should I take her to the vet? Should i leave her alone. I heard her digging earlier. What to do?
Has she ever laid eggs? Please post a pic of her please
No, she's about 10 months old. Today makes day 8. I'm taking her to vet tomorrow and have her checked for parasites and other things.
Take a fecal w/ you NO enemas - they are too risky and be can be deadly or cause serious issues
Please go over your husbandry uvb brand and bulb placement surface basking temps how your getting them. - this will cause this kind of behavior
Ok can you post the test results? If you don't have have the vet email them to you - Tracie the vet tech on here can go over them - what med did they put her on?
I'm not sure of the name of the drug. The bottle says SMZ TMP 200MG/40MG/5,MG SUSP. I give it to her once a day for two days and every other day after that.
No. Just the pink stuff. Hardest part is getting her mouth open. I have been putting a drop of water on her nose and waiting for her to lick it off and just shoving it in quickly. She is still hiding in corner and hasn't eaten anything in 4-5 days. I've got her in my hand as I type this. Her belly was very cold ,but she seems alert. She digs down to the bottom of her enclosure for her hiding. I'm going to give her til medicine is gone and if not her old self, I'm taking her back to vet.
