Found my escaped Tokay the fridge too. It's a pretty good spot. His mate on the other hand when she managed to jump so hard that it knocked her door off, she just hid in the closet 2 feet away.

So kinda weird question but how "quickly" do pacman frogs poop? I am noticing that my little dude is getting kinda a weird little "tail" and is completely uninterested in eating (to the point where roaches I put in literally walk over top of him unperturbed as they wander around before burrowing into the soil). Should I maybe try feeding outside the tank? Also finally got some pictures to show ya'll...

Welp, bought a new batch of 250 cricks. This time I'm using a layer of cocofiber and springtails and hoping for the best, in terms of smell.

Found the missing snake. He is now pissed in his 40 gallon tank. One of my mom's cats found him, wouldn't go near him, and acted out enough my mom saw, and was able to rescue the snake before a more aggressive cat saw. Thank every snake god ever.

In other news two of my C. Versicolors molted and are now a bit bigger than an inch. Watching them grow is indeed very satisfying, and it too bad that it's now impossible to take photos with all the webbing they've put down.

Forgive the poor-quality picture, but Princess (one of my two African fat tail geckos) was unusually active after I cleaned her tank tonight. She was sniffing everywhere, climbing atop her structures, pushing her nose behind and under everything she could. All before plopping down inside her rock-hide and sleeping soundly. Such a goofy little critter!

Well poo poo I don't know where I messed up but one of my GBB slings isn't able to molt and is probably going to die. The problem is I don't know how I messed up. Two of my other GBB slings molted out fine last week but this third GBB sling, which started molting yesterday, is all messed up with several legs still stuck in the old molt. Man this is kind of sucks. edit: Now I'm triply confused my 4th GBB just molted out fine. Do slings just have bad molts for no reason?

I've owned a lot of things that molted and sometimes molts just go badly. Too little humidity, too much humidity, too little calcium, the phase of the moon, whatever. It might survive, but it tends to increase the odds that later molts will go badly too.

Quick update on my gargoyle gecko that would only eat if you hand fed it. After trying every flavor from pangea, we moved him to a plastic shoebox instead of his 10gal. He put on 3g this week without intervention feeding, so he may have just not felt safe feeding in his old tank.

Was the food placed on the ground or elevated?

So this is what my bad molted GBB sling looks like:  Surprisingly it's still alive. I've read that I can perhaps mashup it's food and just place it on top of the food and hope for the best until next molt? Pretty much all but 2 or 3 legs are messed up I think even the two grasping things by the fangs are messed up too. Agrajag fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jan 26, 2018 |

Agrajag posted:So this is what my bad molted GBB sling looks like: 2 or 3 functioning legs might be enough to survive, assuming it can feed. One of the big problems with a bad molt is that the fangs themselves can be deformed. Try offering a prekilled cricket or roach and see if it successfully eats. If it does, the chances of surviving are more in your favor.

I got my GBB but my wife is unsure about buying B. lateralis to feed because they're well established here in the Southwest as it is and the last thing she wants is an escapee establishing a home in the apartment. I know they're apparently more nutritious than flies, but how does that compare to pinhead crickets? I gave mine two of the crickets last weekend after accidentally squishing like four trying to get them out of the container. Not sure how to grab such tiny things consistently.

Big Centipede posted:Was there a lot of hiding places in the old tank? Was the food placed on the ground or elevated? 1 hide on each side of the tank, with a cork bark tube between them. The food was elevated on a magnetic ledge with some driftwood going up to it. I'd regularly see him on the ledge and on top of the nearby hide, as it was also a basking area with a ceramic heat emitter set to 78 degrees. So he had a lot of hiding areas, and he would go right next to the food bowl at times. But eh, he is pretty small so maybe once he is bigger I'll move him back.

My gargoyle would never use a ground hide - the only thing he likes is a vertical tank with a tangle of branches and an upright hollow log hide

Cricket keeper and when I want to feed one off I shake some into a tall bottle and chase them with my tongs till I get one by the side legs.

Well turns out my badly molted GBB is able to eat so that's good, but the process of getting it to eat is kinda involved. I had to flip it over and then place the pre-killed cricket near it's fangs until it finally decided to bite down instead of flailing its legs. Then after a while, having made sure it wont drop it, I would flip it back up for it to continue eating. I really hope the next molt will fix all those messed up and twisted legs.

Treatment for snake mites continue. I have yet to see any but in the lucy's cage, and he is getting pissy about living in a small shoebox, with a moat of DE, inside a large tote. But perhaps another month and we'll be clear?

this last week or so has sucked. one of the frogs that my gf gave me died suddenly(looked like it had seizure) the other grey frog seems fine(cleaned the tank fully after finding the body) then today One of the dumby frogs that i had died, though this one was expected. he wasnt doing well(he was blue and probably inbred as a hapsburg) and he had be degenerating for while(fed him powderd crickets and uv light) but eventualy he was just spitting up food. at least he isnt suffering anymore and his female friend is doing good and growing. on better news. i think my parents may let me have a herp that isnt a frog after a gratuate. i was thinking a snake, probaly a kenyan sand boa because they are small and sorta "friendly" or at least calm. that or beadie or skink.

Sunny finally came out of bruminating last week. Three months of living the dream, that little rear end in a top hat has me jealous. He also believes me to be his personal servant who rains superworms from the sky. I think I'm the pet at this point.

Knorth posted:That's such a good lizard Deffo Sunny saw me this morning when I came back downstairs and went buckwild. Running everywhere, even crawled around on the hammock he's refused to touch. Then he managed to knock part of his rock mountain over. He's dying to hunt live quick things, so we headed to the local shop for crickets and dubias E: He's been super active, this cricket got chased, and then stalked after it hid under his rocks. I've got more live coming tomorrow I think.  E2: dubias showed up half an hour ago or so, fed sunny a handful and watched him obliterate like the little monster he is.

Why is my axolotl a poo dragon. I'm sure he reads my mind whenever I spot a big turd and in the time it takes for me to consider scooping, pick up the net, and open the tank, he has placed himself squarely over the poo as though he's guarding it. Naturally he then tramples it and completely foils my idea that he might like to live in a place that doesn't have poo poo everywhere. Good thing it's mostly sand!
