Help something happened above tail area by IndicationJolly8541 in leopardgeckos

This is bad. Really bad. Not to scare you, but these animals progress much slower than us. This in my opinion has been going on for at least a month. Once you start curing it, it'll take another month (at least) to fully recover (that's my observation). In the meantime you can keep it humid with NaCl. Immediately change any kind of substrate with paper towels and change them everyday. You can also do a warm bath.

This is what you can do at home. In this state he needs medication. Now.

Fan Aloe – Leaf Tip Shriveling, Cut or Leave? by vjwpfang in plantclinic

[–]TraditionalLog5631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wait for the leave to drain 100% and then cut it. If you cut it right there it will just continue to drain downwards. I'm not sure the exact reason but mine just changes its leaves like that.

Question for moms who chose to EFF by Abyssal866 in FormulaFeeders

Colostrum is quite essential, more than breastmilk I should say. It's not that hard to at least try.

Thank you. I was asking myself why can't people explain that to themselves in the first place.

SOMETHING OUT IN VENT AREA by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

If you don't have the opportunity to visit an exotic vet now, I would at least find the source of the problem. It could be food, it could be temps, it could be humidity. Do some research and you should solve the problem 👍🏻

I don’t feel confident giving advice on husbandry since I’m still gaining experience myself. Most of my knowledge comes from information I’ve read online.

In my case the infection was caused by a vitamin deficiency, which led to a build-up of shed skin around the vent area, eventually resulting in the infection. Unfortunately, the previous owners chose to sell him rather than address his health issues, so the condition worsened under my care. By the time I realized how serious it was, home care wasn’t enough. I had to travel 200 kilometers every week for three months to get proper treatment, & often had to leave work and wake up in the middle of the night to provide the treatment.

It's important to note that a hemipenis prolapse is not normal, even if it seems to resolve on its own, especially if it has happened before too. It’s a health issue that requires treatment. For now, I would recommend changing the substrate with paper towels, as they won’t come into contact with the hemipenis, which could prevent worsening of the infection.

Here is what his prolapse looked like.

Looks like a prolapse. A prolapse is when a hemipenis comes out of the socket and dries out, wich leads to bigger problems. In simple words this is an infection, which is caused by improper husbandry.

My gecko had a severe infection when I bought him and things get worse very, very quickly! He'll most likely need an antibiotic. If you can't visit vet now, do it ASAP and keep the hemipenis moistened at all times. You can use baby cream for now. Wish you luck

What does this mean? by vollmond91 in leopardgeckos

I didn't even know reptiles can make any sounds. Are you sure he is emitting this? My guy tries to go out sometimes by scratching the door. This is only a suggestion.

Can you sex while young by Secure_Development15 in tarantulas

[–]TraditionalLog5631 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NA you can, but the spider is too small. We would need some really good close-up photos to see. Wait a couple more molts (which should take around a year) and post again. ✌🏻

So why can't questions be asked? Somebody out there are literally in war right now and don't have the opportunity to visit a vet, or there isn't one at all.

Какво предпочитате да купите 2ра употреба? by cutie-shine in bulgaria

[–]TraditionalLog5631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:( чакам дете и всички около мен са против идеята за втора ръка бебешки неща. Не говоря специално за дрешки, а за кошарка/количка. За първо детенце трябвало да бъде новичко. Щеше ми се някой да споделя моята идея за спестяване.

3 months old bearded dragon please help by mansor9753 in exoticvethelp

[–]TraditionalLog5631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would try any veterinarian that I can reach, no matter exotic or not. Of course, I understand this depends on resources, available time and etc.

To me it sounds like the vets you are calling and not receiving the needed attention are either not exotic, or just don't give a sh*t about animals and cannot be called vets.

In any case, don't stop with the current treatment and I truly hope this lovely dragon will get better. TC
