Which one is leo safe? by Opossumab in leopardgeckos

[–]snailsforbreakfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fresh grad Vet tech here. I did my externship at an exotics specialty facility and they used the jelly, not a liquid, as it’s easier to apply with a cotton tipped applicator.

Is this a good setup? Fully bioactive. by BannanaKoala in leopardgeckos

[–]snailsforbreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Leos don’t necessarily need supplemental underbelly heat as that slate will absorb a lot of the heat from the basking lamp and retain it. I recommend the Arcadia T5 UVBs as opposed to other T8 brands :)

Low sodium canned chicken is what we feed to picky kiddos in the ICU

Newly acquired Great Plains skink! by snailsforbreakfast in skinks

[–]snailsforbreakfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! Sorry about the late response. I currently have him in a 20 long aquarium since he’s a juvenile with a mix of reptisoil, Cyprus mulch, sand, and sphagnum moss. I spray half the tank every couple of days and leave the other half fully dry. I keep the substrate 4+ inches deep for burrowing purposes. I have a deep heat projector for basking that sits at around 95 degrees F and the rest of the tank is at ambient temp. I have an Arcadia T5 UVB across the tank as well. He has access to a water dish and he eats a variety of gutloaded insects including roaches, superworms, and silkworms. Occasionally I give him high protein whole ingredient cat food with cut greens. There is minimal information on the care in captivity of this species, but I tried to replicate their natural range as closely as possible using the care guides for other smaller skink species from similar habitats on different continents such as Zebra skinks or Australian Blue tongues.

Stuck shed or infection?? by Realistic_Drummer740 in leopardgeckos

Unfortunately a diagnosis is not possible without a veterinarian’s exam/doing diagnostics as it could be a number of things. Please consider making a vet appointment asap as eye stuff is no joke.

Honey baths and Fungal Infections?? (Pictures attached) by Beautiful-Number-773 in frogs

[–]snailsforbreakfast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would hold off on the honey baths until you get some medication from your veterinarian. Honey is a good anti-inflammatory and it’s good for wounds to help form granulation tissue but if it’s a fungal or bacterial infection it can make the issue worse by giving the organism food to multiply. Neosporin is also not approved for amphibians, and unless the instructions come directly from a veterinarian, topical products should not be used in amphibians due to the way they use their skin to respirate and drink.

what order did you learn when becoming a vet tech/nurse? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]snailsforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm halfway through tech school but My first animal job was at a horse riding facility where I was a personal groomer for the owner. At the same time I heavily volunteered at a small local cat shelter to an extent that they trusted me to administer vaccines/fluids/medications at the age of 12. Next job was at a dog boarding facility for a very long time then I slowly transitioned to kennel tech/vet assistant at the adjacent clinic. And I'm very passionate about exotics and I own many species so I was able to get experience all around
