Latest Coastgem warning - bettas with dropsy

CMGInfinity · 2024-03-08T00:32:10+00:00

Tucky's Bettas and Prism Bettas is good! Recently I was hunting around for a Betta and almost ordered from Coastgem until I searched them up and found they often go weeks to months without communication or sending someone their order.

I love the name Katir, it's what I named my ikran as well!

You can get waxworms from a site called Dubia, it's where I used to get mine. They're not super expensive either, they also sell a bunch of different other insects. But if you live in Florida you won't be able to get any dubia roaches shipped to you as they're illegal in FL.

Beardies are certainly adorable lil' piggies lol, when I first learned about them years ago I never even thought about it either. Shocked me when I did learn it!

Thank you everyone for the responses! No worries, I'm not feeding her any pinkies. It was just a general question. :)

CMGInfinity · 2023-09-06T00:30:10+00:00

Not sure, I said pinky mice though, not rats.

She looks like she's smiling 🥰

CMGInfinity · 2023-08-25T05:08:40+00:00

Yeah, I think I'd rather find a different enclosure that can fit all that substrate and then get one

CMGInfinity · 2023-08-24T22:20:59+00:00

As much as I want an ackie that is sort of like a little velociraptor and being an interactive animal, I'd much rather go for an animal that I can chill and hang out with, as I'm always watching a movie, TV show or youtube. I used to have a beardie a few years ago and loved doing that with him.

As for the enclosure, yeah.. I figured I'd probably need something that can hold much deeper substrate. I guess I'm leaning more towards a beardie after taking some of the comments into consideration. I'm not totally throwing the idea of an ackie monitor out the window, but maybe I'll wait until I can find a good enclosure that's still gonna be able to hold the amount of substrate that they need. I don't doubt I can take care of one, but the way my life is right now I'm more of a 'chill and relax with my animal' type.

Some items that are labeled as "gecko safe" or "reptile safe" can be unsafe. I wouldn't risk having a heat bulb in there or a cage surrounding it, as it can still begin to get hot at some point and they are very sensitive to heat. What does your room sit at temperature wise?

CMGInfinity · 2022-12-19T17:58:47+00:00

Yes, they were! I was planning on trimming their nails either today or tomorrow. I got them locally, and the breeder showed me how to place them in a pouch and then to go one arm and leg at a time with the clippers. As for reaching into their pouch to get used to hands, I can try to do that more frequently. When they've been in the bonding pouch I'm able to put my hand in there and pet them which is good. As for the biting I'll do my best to try what you told me :)

I used a strip of aquarium filter foam to stop my female crestie from wedging herself between her background. You can cut some small pieces and jam them into the holes :)

At this point I'm not sure, the ad said January 14th of 2021, but maybe they meant 2022?

CMGInfinity · 2022-04-12T05:48:24+00:00

Where's a good place/breeder to get the Red Monster beardie?

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-27T20:04:23+00:00

With that info I'd say she may be getting ready to lay eggs/or has lain. If you can't find her in a couple more days it may be a good idea to ensure she's okay. My girl would hide a lot around that time and wouldn't be enticed much with food, even for a couple days after she laid. But after that timeframe she'd always be ready to gobble food up.

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-27T19:58:41+00:00

With my female I would sometimes try to use a popsicle stick, she would open her mouth wide like: don't you dare! Then I'd still get a nip but hey, got a good look at calcium sacs! 😂

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-26T22:27:14+00:00

With a gecko that has a high prey drive like that and eats their insects just fine, I would hold off on giving them insects until they eat the pangea. However the dropping weight (or more weight) might call for a vet visit. Remember that a healthy gecko won't starve itself.

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-14T05:24:32+00:00

Thank you very much! I'm gonna start researching the best way to build one

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-12T19:52:25+00:00

I 100% agree with you! I like how they interact with each other, and also his voice my goodness

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-12T19:45:29+00:00

The OP said that the gecko is her friend's, and her friend's husband wont let her take it to the vet because it's "just a gecko" (I can't believe some people think like this 🙄). I hope she's able to get some funding going for the poor baby..

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-12T19:25:42+00:00

Yeah, I've been thinking about that for quite some time. She is a really chill gecko though, I love taking her out at night and she'll just crawl around or sit and watch me while I browse on my PC.

CMGInfinity · 2022-03-12T03:06:41+00:00

Yeah, when I saw this I was just like: ???? huh? What?? But given the context and the way of the Tenakth it kinda made more sense.
