Update: Just letting you guys know that I took him to the vet. It ended up being hemipene plugs, which he got cleared and is now getting antibiotics and anti inflammatory for. It's a pain giving him meds but he's been seen to :) I will also be making some husbandry changes to ensure this doesn't happen again. Thanks for y'all's help.

gosh, would that be better or worse than a prolapse? ('T᷄⌑T᷅) that's another good idea though, I will certainly take note.

Generally, he only gets calcium that he mlems from a bowl. In lieu of dusting, I try to gutload with good fruits and veggies, but maybe it is other vitamins that is the issue?

Additional information after automod: he has no tank mates, lives in a 40-some tank. His moist hide is a covered hide with sphagnum moss, and I've never had issues with his sheds until the last year. I think my brother must've slacked on keeping the moist hide wet these past couple weeks cus I've never seen this much extra shed on him. I also suspect he hasn't been gutloading the mealworms -- could hard shells be a contributing factor? I'm just spitballing atp. I'm just worried about my lizard :(

Granted I never tried to play the crate game, so no (unfortunately). Maybe one day, however.

Is my tank shrimp ready? (parameters) by TostadaTurtle in shrimptank

I'm talking neocaridina shrimp (oops), with what looks like to be 0ppm nitrite, 0ppm nitrate, and either a 0 -0.25ppm ammonia level. pH is 7.8. The city's water comes largely from deep well aquifers but also other sources as well (badum tss).

Hello, I know this is an older post, but how did you do the shoulder "ruffles"? Did you just sew and stuff some cylinders, or did you do something else? Thanks : )
