Here just a photo of Steve soaking we always water change as soon as he goes to the bathroom. It's funny because he always gets zoomies like my dogs after a bath.
Steven has grown since we've moved to our new home. Here he is photo with a soda can for size comparison. (He had just finished his bath, he still shrinks up around us. Usually hes ok walking around but the minute he sees hands picking him up he like no thanks)
Steve's been doing great he does is zooms in the morning after he eats. He now weighs about 148grams. I did have a question about his markings do all sulcatas babies stay dark in color? We he is older will he become more of a beige tan like I see in photos?
My dog Gunner has found out that Steve exist it was quite funny he keep flinch when Steve would turn around. He thinks his a snake ? my cat Mavies also loves watching Steve walk around.
sorry, I had red ear sliders that died from RI and the bubbles was what I had missed when I had them 10yrs ago. (I think they were already sick because within a week they had full in bubble sounds comen out of their mouth).
We just moved to Apple Valley about a week ago so it been chaos in my...
I tried to take steve to the vet this evening due to him having some bubbles and sneezing he only did it for like 30 seconds and hasn't since (i just moved to apple valley) and turns out the vet that knows reptiles won't be in till sunday. So i'll have to wait and just keep trying to monitor...
He seems to be doing alright today he ate quite a bit last night after I rearranged the lights, about two Romain leaves and some kale and one piece of cucumber. His eyes don't swollen and his not rubbing. (Is celery safe for them? Also saw in note carrots?)

That makes sense now I did have it on way too long then I'll be sure to change it to limit for only an 1 1/2hour.
