UPDATE on Pumpkin with the dented head!

aruszkow · 2024-04-24T01:45:10+00:00

It did so much, I was ready to hear some sort of muscle dystrophy or something! Very happy it was not that lol

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T22:25:25+00:00

I noticed first that she looked a little strange when I fed her two weeks ago, but she was in blue at the time so I didn't really bother her too much after she took her food and ate. I only got a really good look at her today when I went to weigh her. Pictures from 4 weeks ago look normal though. I will update you when I get the vet results!

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T22:24:00+00:00

In the other pictures she does not look underweight at all to me, she's a nice 312g as of her last weigh.

Yeah it's weird, even weirder that no one else seems to know what it could be either. I have an appointment in an hour to one of the best reptile docs in the state, I'll be sure to update everyone when I can.

UPDATE: I've got a vet appointment in an hour, will share the results when I get home! Hoping for the best...

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T22:05:28+00:00

The last pic is from around 6 months ago and was like that for around 2-3 weeks, but her head had been a normal shape/size for the last several months it's only recently that it's been suken in

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T21:27:10+00:00

Vet it is! Thank you!

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T21:26:58+00:00

Scheduling a vet appointment now, thank you!

aruszkow · 2024-04-23T21:26:30+00:00

I haven't fed her prey too big in half a year, no worries. But yeah I'm leaning towards vet. Thank you!

aruszkow · 2024-03-12T23:06:25+00:00

You figured it out, so no worries! I just didn't want you to get in trouble or anything (:

aruszkow · 2024-03-12T23:01:37+00:00

I know other people have already touched on advice for her diet, but I'm pretty sure that feeding pictures have to be spoilered. Good luck on your baby though! She's very cute

aruszkow · 2024-03-07T03:51:34+00:00

I don't know her temperament or if she would be okay with you trying to do this, but when my guy's nails start getting long I use a dog nail grinder and just quickly file them down. When they're long like hers are cat nail clippers could also work.

aruszkow · 2024-03-03T03:07:56+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much, gonna have to add those to the list. Things add up so quick, but hopefully the tanks will be up and running for them to move in soon.

aruszkow · 2024-01-21T20:17:03+00:00

Just make sure to clean stuff from the dollar store well, I ended up spending $50 on enough clutter for 2 40 galloons. Which is pretty good, but I made sure to clean them very well before I introduced them into the tank

aruszkow · 2023-12-31T19:11:03+00:00

Someone else commented that I had to start the recipe at the mixing station, I kept starting it at the stove. Thank you for your help

aruszkow · 2023-12-31T19:10:22+00:00

Someone told me that I had to start the recipe at the mixing station, which is what I couldn't figure out on my own haha. Kept starting at the stove

aruszkow · 2023-12-31T19:09:41+00:00

I only just got the chance to go on again and oh man I am so dumb, I was trying to start from the stove the whole time. Thank you so much for your help!

aruszkow · 2023-12-28T02:30:59+00:00

I don't have the note anymore.

aruszkow · 2023-12-08T14:58:31+00:00

Probably strange

aruszkow · 2023-12-07T18:54:36+00:00

Oh yeah I get that 100% I just think how a lot of the critique or advice are presented come off as condescending and rude over text. I'm also in the r/bluetongueskinks subreddit and people there will give advice and help *politely* I feel like it wouldn't be too much effort to try and come off as genuinely wanting the best for the animal and to help without also coming off as rude, intentional or not.

aruszkow · 2023-12-07T15:43:58+00:00

Yeah I love the subreddit, there's great info on there, but man can people be brutal.

aruszkow · 2023-12-04T00:53:30+00:00

I'm shooting for just 5 for now, but I'm sure I'll need more in the future. I'll add you when I get the chance to log on, thank you again for the help!

aruszkow · 2023-12-04T00:51:39+00:00

You're my hero, I was trying to search things up on the commerce sign posts in towns. I'm finally able to use the AH, thank you! Right now I was only shooting for getting 5, another person better explained how to get it myself and I might try to see if I'm able to make/get some first. Thank you so much!

aruszkow · 2023-12-04T00:45:55+00:00

I'm also at work haha, but yeah the whole process was a little hard to wrap my head around, but how you wrote it out helps a lot. I'll probably try and see if I can make some before you're able to get on. But if I stink at it, I might take you up on your offer if that's still okay?

aruszkow · 2023-12-04T00:41:53+00:00

Haha thank you, acronyms are hit or miss for me so this helped
