My sulcata passed away on Friday. Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers & for all the good suggestions.

The humidity is at 45 to 55. I think the last time he ate was early last week & is very weak when it comes to opening his tiny mouth. I've chopped up lettace for him & trying to feed baby food but still too weak. Im scared that he's not gonna make it but I want to do my best but I was told it's...

Thanks, he is too weak to eat & open his mouth. Im actually buying some baby food and gonna force feed. Is vitasol sold anywhere?[hr] I soak him often and of course will fall asleep, while being soaked. He just isn't strong enough to eat or move. They gave him calcium glub & Enrofox, I...

He's about 6 months old & very tiny. UVB bulb is 10.0 for 12 hrs a day but I have him in direct sun light now. I soak him about 3 times a day but I'll try gatorade. The problem is that he is not eating & I've tired force feeding but too weak. Thanks Tom

My lil Franklin is acting weird, not eating and no movement, so this friday he had a visit to the vet. They said he's is pretty bad shape, his shell is really soft & has one of his eyes shout & weight is low. They actually didn't tell me what he has but has symptoms of MBD....which Im really...

I feed him grass, flowers, catcus pads, & weeds.[hr] I did try it, helped a bit and they aren't that bad looking anymore.

I've been soaking him almost everyday now for about 10min. Last night it was the biggest I've ever seen w/ some pink stuff. They are at times creamy white or with some solid white chunks. Of course it does happen every time I soak him.

Can any one please direct me in the correct direction, yesterday my Lil Franklin thru these nasty looking urates. Please help!!

Oh, ok then I shouldn't too much. He's 3 months old, how old is your lil guy?

I know these 3 key things are very important. Also notice that when I soak him, that after He'll go potty but comes out like bird poop white & creamy, is that a bad sign or normal?? During the day he will also poop normal (solid one) but i've already witness this about 4 times, since I've had...

Thanks, i checked it out, started out as a really sad story but ended in a happy ending!! What's the earliest age they can develop pyramiding? I have the temp at no higher than 92, low 70's in cooler area and humidity at 44-50 are these OK??

Now I understand...this is soo new to me, I'm worst than a first time mom..LOL Franklin is 3 months this wk. Thanks;)

Well, that's good to hear.. now why is his shell looking lopsided? I've always wondered, b/c i see other torts and none that I've seen have a shell like his. So signs of pyramiding are the carapace turning light-colored, just a bit confussed...

I'm concerned about my sulcata, I think he may be developing pyramid shell?? Any suggestions, please???!

Cool, I'll just mix all that around. Potting soil looks too messy. Thanks everyone!!
