New girls...*I hope* ;)

Hey Anja, what's the girls email? (PM me). I'll tell her that if she can't find another home for the Sulcata, I'll take it in for now until I can find one...

Is the plated still available? Where in Wi are these?

Here is the new ad Kelly. I did offer to try to find placement but she really didnt say anything.

I brought the Plated home with me, I will be looking to place it in a new home soon most likely.

Yea they both have some thick growth rings but Im sure it can be evened out.

BTW.. the only thing you can do about the carapace is make sure it doesn't get any worse. There is nothing you can do to "even" it out Anj.

Terry

I know Terry, I mostly just meant keep it from getting any worse which would in time make it look a little more evened out with new good growth

Here are more tail shots of the little one.

If you still have the plated in Feb or March I can give him a home. My house is being rebuild and the place I'm staying at doesn't have room for another 40 long. If someone else can give it a good home go for it.

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

OK these two are all setup, only thing left to do is cut a piece of showerboard to cover 2/3 of the setup. It has a small piece of shelving over it right now to make a dark area. The dark end is covered in wet long strand sphagnum moss. The base of the enclosure is sand/cypress mulch with 2 bricks of bed a beast on top of that. The *sunny* end has a large area of oyster shell over the bed a beast. I am using a regular household fluorescent bulb in the lamp over this end and it is aimed towards the end of the tank so its not shining back on the dark end. The big girl has been grazing on the oyster shell so she must be lacking in calcium. They seem to like the setup I think. This is a 4foot/50 gallon polystyrene stock tank.

I can fit.....really I can!

And I just checked on them and they are all settled in and what not...lol

I have 2 of those and they came with 2 of my Hermanns. Ive seen them somewhere for sale, I will have to think about where I saw them and let you know.

RE: New Redfoots

Well I went ahead and took some weights these two, they have been here 15 days now. The little one lost a couple of grams and the big girl gained quite a few. I think I will get a fecal done on them both, but especially the smaller one. (I have really got to buy myself a new microscope, I detest paying for something I can do myself. lol Its a good thing I stock all of my own wormers and antibiotics. No way im paying vet prices for that stuff. )


Big girl went from 1280 grams to 1327 grams.

Little one went from 535 grams to 533 grams.

Wow the big girl is a big 'un! Is she hoggin' all the food?

Not really, the little one stands in the dish most of the time and covers most of it up while she is eating. lol

 

[Crazy1]

Anja how do you stock your own antibiotics ? I thought you had to have a scrip from a vet for those?

 

[egyptiandan]

You have a good vet Robyn and just go in and ask for what you want.

Well my best friend is a Vet back home, the Vet at the Emergency Hospital I worked at and my farm Vet back home both love me. Any of the three will order and ship anything to me I want pretty much, barring controlled narcotics. I was a Vet tech for many years, so they all know that I know what Im doing. I buy Panacur in 100cc bottles. As for antibiotics I keep on hand Gentamicin and baytril. I have an order in for Ceftaz right now.
