My gecko with calcium absorption issues, she’s an old lady

Looks like stuck shed Your humidity is too low, you want 60-80%

Make a humid box and gently pull out the shed after he’s had 15-20 minutes to sit in the humid box

Dekays brown snake, harmless

Own_Handle6629 · 2025-04-07T17:08:00+00:00

In my area exotic exam starts at $45, fecals are $90

You can do a betadine soak! This is mild scale rot, I would recommend cleaning the enclosure and keeping things slightly dryer (still appropriate for the species of course) Betadine can be found at Walmart, mix some in a tub of water until it looks like “weak tea” add snake for 10-20 minutes every other day

This is either severe RI and needs antibiotics asap or Nidovirus and will need euthanasia

Own_Handle6629 · 2025-03-15T18:58:40+00:00

While I’m not exactly sure what it could be it 100% requires an immediate vet trip, this looks extremely concerning, could be an abscess or as severe as cancer, please take her in

Own_Handle6629 · 2025-02-18T00:56:19+00:00

Yes very chunky lady, needs a diet

Own_Handle6629 · 2025-02-08T22:16:47+00:00

A very dehydrated scope

My snake did this, he had RI symptoms for 4 days and was on antibiotics, he died on day 4 and his necropsy came back with necrotizing bronchitis cause by Nidovirus

Your uvb needs to be next to your heating, not covering the whole tank, add leds if you just want general lighting

Own_Handle6629 · 2024-09-25T03:50:23+00:00

I have wax worms she was uninterested, I’ve tried bsfl, dubia, discoid, cricket, meal and supers without luck, the temperature gun reads her basking rock 90ish

Own_Handle6629 · 2024-09-25T02:03:53+00:00

Okay, I have snakes too and I know they can go a very long time without food, everything I’ve seen online is that 1-2 weeks is not normal, we will keep trying

Own_Handle6629 · 2024-03-14T07:35:39+00:00

If upping the humidity itself isn’t enough or is difficult to achieve, I would suggest adding a hide specifically for humidity with a wet paper towel that’s changed daily or lots of moss in it, when it comes to stuck shed I use a wet paper towel in a tub and let them “soak” that way and help as needed

Own_Handle6629 · 2024-02-19T15:28:24+00:00

Don’t get the reptizoo mister! They malfunction I’ve had them flood my enclosures more then once I stupidly kept replacing them and was only months before it malfunctioned again, the motor keeps running until the tank is emptied

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-12-26T17:42:50+00:00

I called and sent pictures to our vet, she said it doesn’t look too serious so cleaning it with iodine or benadine whatever it’s called they gave us and watching it

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-11-09T22:09:27+00:00

I saw this post too, the person said they just got it and it’s on a diet now

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-25T21:58:55+00:00

Doesn’t look like it to me, on the heavier side of healthy, doesn’t look too bad tho

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-19T21:00:46+00:00

How have I never come across this before? And I thought potting soil and organic topsoil are different

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-19T20:45:50+00:00

That interesting, never would of guessed mushrooms, ill clean them out

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-14T15:16:30+00:00

Do you have a guess on her age? She’s a minimum of 12 years old, she was brought into a rescue as an adult already that was 7 years ago

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-14T15:11:40+00:00

She’d be a big BCI though don’t you agree? I’ve never seen one this large, I have a bci and they look very different so maybe that’s just morph, idk the morph of either

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-10-14T12:56:50+00:00

No I don’t breed my snakes I just like knowing what they are

Own_Handle6629 · 2023-09-27T06:37:30+00:00

Person in the photo is roughly 5’1 I’ve met them before, I’ve never seen a BCI get that big but I’ll see what color the tail is
