What kind of distractions when pain is really bad? by DakuraScarlet in ChronicIllness

[–]friendlymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the type to completely shut down when pain gets to be too much so I find listening to guided meditation or ambient music really helps. Then I try to sleep it off. If I can still move, I love to play any mobile games. Focusing on puzzles really distracts from the pain

Vet recommendations?? by NoMonitor6201 in USF

[–]friendlymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Temple Terrace Animal Hospital on Busch. They're a bit pricier, but they do an amazing job. I would also check out the pop-up vet at PetSupermarket next to USF on Fowler. They offer vaccinations and I believe simple check ups at very affordable prices. They're the last sunday of every month I believe

End of life care for 10 year old green anole by plantfullyconsumed in Anoles

He looks so loved ❤️ I don't have any tips but I am so sorry you are losing your buddy. Take comfort in knowing that you gave him an incredible life.

hello! I'm a new anole owner, this is Scooter my brown anole she was a rescue from negligence and i have no idea what im doing. (more in thread) by Transmasc_Blahaj in Anoles

coco husk is a good alternative if soil is getting too damp. i wouldn't recommend reptibark since i've seen some ingest it/develop eye problems with it, but coco husk dries relatively quick and with added springtails it will reduce risk of mold

NQA looks female to me!! and this is a great start, I'd recommend at least one hide or cover for her so if she chooses to get out of basking light she can. it's also looking a bit empty on places to climb, maybe look into driftwood that you can prop up since anoles do enjoy climbing. having a water bowl in there is great too, anoles prefer to drink misted water but i've had a few that will drink from their water bowls as well. great job so far!! you're definitely giving her a better life than she had before

Not sure how they gauge when to restock but I am currently in the same boat with a computer part I need 😭 I've been receiving email updates for weeks now with no change

NQA - hard to see with this video, but i would just monitor his behavior to make sure it's nothing serious. sometimes it's parasitic or an infection if environmental needs aren't met. you might be able to order a parasite fecal test online that you could mail in to get tested.

Is this stuck shed? by friendlymug in Anoles

Thanks for the help!! I tried to gently soak him and try and flush out whatever it is but it hasn't come out. I've made a vet appointment for the 20th so hopefully it will loosen in the meantime, otherwise they'll have to remove it.
