I haven't heard of any natural herbs that would help, would you happen to know which one exactly? My staple food for him is fresh organic spring mix, maybe a couple days a week I'll throw in a few zoo med grassland tortoise pellets with the mix and i supplement his food 4-5 days out of the...

That is what she tried yesterday with the probe but no luck.. I was pretty upset when they told me they had mistaken the stone for his head.. If they had figured that earlier than something couldve been done earlier..

Yeah I want it out of him asap.. poor guy barely eats and is probably so traumatised ..

I'll definitely take a look for another vet but according to the local forums for reptiles there aren't many "good" reptiles vets around.. and everyone seemed to have recommended this place im going to.

Thanks for the reply, i have heard those methods do help with constipation but the problem here is that the stone is too large to even pass though and is just blocking everything else aswell. I'll definitely try that though, I'm not giving up on this little guy.

So about 2 weeks back I started noticing that he wasn't passing any poop. None in his soaks or enclosure. So i decided to take him in to the vets (first time for him). They took a xray and said everything looks fine.. prescribed some laxatives and de-worming meds to see if that will help him...

Temps are good, basking is around 95, cool end is little below 80. And i just put in a newer uvb bulb after 6 months. Maybe its just me worrying too much, he is quite active and always eats and sleeps normal too.

I haven't been weighing him, maybe ill start doing that and look for different greens at the store. I've tried to grow my own dandelions but had no luck.

So i've had him for just over 7 months now and back in June i measured him (by the plastron) and he was 4.5cm. 4 months later he's still at 4.5cm ! He looks healthy, eats everyday, i bathe him 5 days out of the week and is fairly active. I feed him spring mix (with supplement) and occasionally...

I did read up on this from somewhere too and wasnt quite sure. There are just so many possible factors and causes for pyramiding!

Thanks for the reply Yvonne. Yes, i try to keep it between 30%-60% humidity and 50% over night. I soak him everyday aswell!

Does my couple month old greek look like hes starting to pyramid or are those just really thick growth rings? I could be paranoid :/

Yah i thought so! Maybe ill try removing the mesh.

Great suggestion thanks Yvonne!

I was just wondering when i should be changing out and replacing the uvb strip light? I read from a site before that it should be replaced every 8 months or so? Please correct me! And does the lighting setup seem to be okay in the picture? Im using a UVB strip light from "All living things"...

Yeah i think I'll try that. See if he likes it. Thanks Tom!

I did use the same exact dish for his food and he climbed in and out but i started using a flat rock.

I tried to look for something like that but couldnt find any!

Im using this with very swallow water.

Is there possibly a reason why he isnt? I try to soak him daily if not every other day and he poops but i dont ever notice him drinking or urinating. Maybe im just worrying too much lol
