The uvb is on from 11-3 I think ?? Something like that. So not all day. And I just measured it’s 17-18 inches from the ground. I think I just need to move it up a tad towards his basking light so that I can make sure he’s actually getting the uvb as he should be. I remember being v sure on my...

Ik it’s not the best enclosure. It was out first one we ever made and we really weren’t sure what we were doing. I think overall it’s better than I was imagining it would be haha. It’s 2x6. We used a big piece of plywood for the bottom and added some legs and the top is with some old plastic...

1. The lights r inside the enclosure. I made sure we could set it up that way bc ik on top of a lid decreases the effectiveness of the lamps. And I double checked the UVB lamp and I was wrong, I have the PROT5 24w desert Arcadia bulb. I just bought another bulb for it so I hope it’s right 😅. At...

I DIDNT FORGET ABOUT THIS POST! I just was in survival mode for the week and now I’m back!! So I really wanna learn so I’m here’s my responses: 1. He is in what I thought was a closed chamber. We built a lid that sits on top oh his enclosure to keep humidity in. I’ve had his hygrometer off the...

Huh, I always thought it was better to have predictable temps for them so it’s “cozier”. I like the idea of a raised platform with heat. So would that mean having 2 heat lamps and they rotate their schedules throughout the day? For example: one lamp is on for the first half of the day and then...

I didn’t even know that exists ! Thank u! I will look into it ! ☺️

Yes my goal is to one day have a house that has lots of outdoor space. Maybe near future it would be nice to move up to a place that has a balcony or patio I could actually set him up in. The apartment I’m in rn has a patio but it’s all concrete, tiny, and the neighbors kids r always going in it...

Does he ? 😭 Ik he’s had pyramiding in the past so I didn’t no if the comment was seeing that but I’ve always been bad at seeing the growth unless it’s VERY visible. He’s getting nice and big and chunky so ik he’s done some good growing and prob has some more left. My plan was to move him into...

This is going to be a very honest post, Weeks ago, I received a comment on here that made me feel like I wasn’t doing a good job at caring for Frankie boy and it made me very depressed. (Not only that but my work had gotten BAD for about a month and it JUST started getting better) I want the...

I tried to get some pics this morning of his nails but he hid from me 😭. Ig I really freaked him out last night. </3 I just got a new phone and all my Franklin pics were deleted so these r the best I can offer rn. U can kinda see how long they have gotten. When I pick him up to move him to a...

I cut it short bc he was scrabbling really frantically more so than normal and I felt like he was getting too stressed. That and I felt AWFUL after having hurt him and watching him panic made me feel worse. He was already around the 30 min mark when I took him out and he did already go potty so...

I just cut his soak short and put him in his enclosure again with some yummies to try and say sorry 😭😭 I put my finger against the end of the nail and no more blood came out and I might be crazy but it looked like the quick scooted down a bit. Like it was at the V END of the quick so it couldn’t...

Tried to cut Frankie’s nails for the first time tonight and the first foot was good but by the second he was squirming really bad. I thought I made a good cut but when I set him down a small bit of blood came out 😭😭 I haven’t seen more than that tho! Is he gonna be ok? Isn’t this an open wound...

So Franklin has always whistled when he breathes. He also seems to breathe hard. However he does seem to breathe harder when I’m in his sight. (I’ve always thought this was a stress response. Idk y he’s still stressed when he sees me. I thought I would have gained his trust by now :((. I think I...

So I was sitting in the living room reading and I had my camera open to keep an eye on him. He climbed halfway up the side of the log and gave my camera the sassiest side eye that I swear said “how dare u block my prime time basking spot and expect me NOT to get up here!” So I ran in and changed...
