Exotic Animal Veterinart Center, in Pasadena CA. at 171 N Altadena Drive STE 120.
Dr. Labrecque.
I was happy with the care they gave. The nurse owns a 10 year old Sulcata herself and the Dr. also seemed to thoroughly know proper care for Sulcatas as well. She sent off a Chelonian Respiratory...
My baby Sulcata Charlie has tested positive for Mycoplasma according to my vet, sample had been sent off to the Florida lab that is apparently best in the nation for tortoise tests. While we waited for the results they had me giving Charlie a shot of Ceftazidime every 3 days for 2 weeks. All...
Oh the Che is already on thermostat, what I mean is if I lower the wattage of my flood, the overall ambient temp will decrease. So I’ll need to maybe increase the CHE wattage
I suppose if that’s what I need to do I can get a lower wattage incandescent flood, maybe at that point will have to meddle with the CHE as well to dial the correct temps again. Haha I can’t tell you guys how many times I have had to re do everything
When I put the substrate in for the first time I mixed it with water in a tub, it dries out fast I don’t know what the problem is. I even spray it so much I empty an entire bottle into it each time, the water gets to the pvc on the bottom even
Hey all, having a hard time keeping humidity at 60% and absolutely cannot get to 80%. Attached are photos. It’s all pvc, 4x2x2. I have sealed up most the air vents, leaving only a couple open. Substrate is all orchid bark. Thanks for help!
Charlie is on some deworming meds right now and has a...
thank you Tom!! You have gotten me this far, I will continue to follow your guidance to a tee. Should I get a second thermostat for the cold night time corner? I realized that my basking side becomes the coldest part at night because the CHE is closer to the other side, as is the thermostat...
Hi all, Charlie is set up is his new 4x2x2 PVC home. cool side is 82, his hot side is around 98 and his basking spot is up to 112 with a 65w incandescent bulb - so for now I have placed a coffee mug in that spot so that he cannot access that high temp, but around the mug is 101-104 ish. I'll try...
Okay amazing thank you! Yes there are vents on the enclosure not sealed thank you :)
One last question, previous owner seems to have glued whatever these fake tiles are into the bottom of the enclosure :( should I be worried about moisture creating mold or something I really can’t tell what they...
I am totally open to rehoming as soon as I find a suitable candidate who will actually provide all the proper care, in the meantime I am happy to take care of the lil fella.
Another question anyone know of safe cleaning products? This enclosure was purchased used and housed a monitor lizard...
Putting my baby Charlie into a 4x2x2 PVC sealed enclosure today. CHE on a thermostat, incandescent basking lamp & UVB strip bulb on a timer, orchid bark substrate, hides and planter plate as water bowl. My question is how do I maintain the correct humidity of 80%, and is there a way to automate...
at this point I feel like I would only be comfortable rehoming him with someone who is experienced and has implemented all of the care standards in the guide Tom wrote. Hard pill to swallow, I am equipped and ready to care for him until he gets too big for a 7x2 or 6x3 enclosure, not sure what...
