Hatchling nails are fairly long and will gradually becoming thicker, stubbier, less opaque looking nails providing care is sound (and from this thread the care you're providing is excellent!). The difference in my hatchling's nails from 4 months old to almost 7 months old has been really...

I'm so very sorry for your loss 😣 thank you for sharing this information so that's can be aware of and avoid him.

Swoon! Sandy is such a cutie 😍 Thank you to you and your granddaughter for the pics 🥰

Agree. What reptile expo was this? You may also have luck contacting the organizers and potentially preventing them from selling there in the future. Some big reptile expos have active FB groups where you may be able to get contact info for the organizers or DM vendors. Disclaimer: FB is...

So cute! I don't dry my Russian off after their bath - they just go back under their basking lamp in their enclosure and dry off that way :)

This looks like it's coming along great! For the outdoor enclosure, how high are the barriers and will there be a lid? In addition to digging down (especially if they will be outside unsupervised) and creating an underground barrier, you may need to make the above-ground barrier taller. Russians...

Agreeing with @jaizei on the weight gain and measuring piece. My hatchling dropped a bit in their first week as they were adjusting to their new environment. Since then it's been slow and steady growth and when the growth isn't seen on the scale it's generally seen in other dimensions. I use a...

Our poor inch plant is constantly in a near death state 😂

I got one of those counter top aero-style growers and it's been amazing for helping me get seedlings off to a strong start before I transfer them to planters in the window or, once it's warm enough, planters outside. Aside from mixing in store bought endive, radicchio, or bok choy (my Russian is...

Thank you for the update and picture! Wishing you a smooth recovery

Yup, or a dry cloth. Anything clean that you don't mind absorbing excess oil.

Cold pressed virgin coconut oil. Rub it in, wait a few minutes, then wipe off the excess. I do it after a bath/soak

Totally normal. WL does a bath poop + pee and then almost always befouls their wheel in the same manner 😅 I spot clean the wheel daily and give it a scrub with hot water once a week (unless it's needed sooner). So happy to hear Minty loves their wheel so much!

Out of curiosity, how big is the shell?

Happy Birthday from Walter-Lily

I struggle with lighting so I'm not sure, but if you make a post specifically about lighting or tag Tom you'll likely get a solid answer ☺️

Just in case there's a need for clarification, my sigh was wistful and full of happy nerdy wonder and enjoyment at the shared excitement and conversation that was growing, not passive aggressive or however it seems to have been interpreted here. Loooovvvveeeee all the pics folks have been...

And the right size + shape and at the right distance! Imagine if they were on the same plane, then we'd have full eclipses multiple times a year. There's also the 'donut style' partial eclipse where the sun and the moon are in alignment (like today) but the moon is at its farthest distance from...
