Right now, Donnie is on slate cheeseboard and paper towels (since there were gaps with the cheeseboards). But since his enclosure is sitting on a wire shelf unit, I suspect we have heat loss from...

Thank you for all the information.

I'm definitely pleased with the DHP. But currently I find that I need to keep both the DHP and the UTH on 24/7. I think I need to put something under the...

OK, what it says:
4" 100mm 55C
8" 200mm 45C
12" 300mm 36C
16" 400mm 29C

Which distance from basking spot.
Other than that, it just indicates it can be used with a cage or clamp.

I am going to be switching Donnie from a halogen bulb for basking (which hasn't been effective and he doesn't seem to like at all) to a deep heat projector.

I just got the 50W Arcadia DHP (I'd...

Hi, if you don't mind, what type of thermostat are you using with the Arcadia DHP? I just got a DHP but don't want to use it until I have an appropriate thermostat.

I haven't forgotten about pictures. Just trying to get temperatures normalized at the moment and figure what is going on. When it was on my desk, floor on warm side stayed between 90-94 and the...

I'm going to try to get pictures today. Things have been a big hectic (SCA event on Saturday, recuperating and clearing the area in my room for him since the shelf unit we ordered to put him on was...

Yeah....Miss MooMoo has a bit of "junk in the trunk". She's also one of the most stubborn cats I've ever met. We got her from friends of ours because she kept getting outside on them. She has a...

So, just a quick update:
Donnie is doing well, although he gave me several panic attacks the past couple days.
Monday evening, fed him his dusted roaches and he essentially did a belly flop into...

I'm not sure about a line around his tail.

Also based on that picture, it looks like he had a tiny piece of shed skin stuck to the tip of his toe. I didn't see it when he was out last...

Other than just sort of guessing based on his length, is there a way to tell how old he is? Or at least get a slightly better estimate?

Donnie's a great photo subject. Quite the handsome little guy.

Last night, after I cleaned his enclosure and changed from ceramic tiles to slate, I persuaded him to wander a bit and I was able to get some better pictures of him.

Donnie had another successful shed. He's busy eating.

Donnie's about 17 cm long (between 6.5 and 7 inches long). How long is your 9-10 month old?

Donovan is shedding again.

He shed within the first week that I got him (brought him home on a Friday and he was shedding on Monday or Tuesday). Tomorrow will be a full 3 weeks that I've had him....

I was just having a similar panic because Donnie's enclosure is suddenly up to 45-48% humidity (I'm assuming because of the general weather being rainy, wet and humid - because nothing else has...

Donnie has a fairly basic set up so at least in that regard I'm doing good.

I'm actually very lucky vet-wise, because there is an exotic pet vet around 20 minutes away.

So, 3 months prior...

I try to get new pets to a vet for a wellness check up because it makes things easier down the road. The wellness check establishes them as a patient. So it's easier to get an appointment with the...

So, I got Donovan about 2.5 weeks ago. He's eating like a trooper, but we are still working on getting to know one another (in other words, he's not afraid of my hand, sniffs and licks it when I put...

Oh my gosh yes! He loves it so much!!! When I brought it out tonight to add more roaches, he came out and sat watching me fill it. And I didn't even get it put down and he was trotting over to...

Oh, and my darling husband just sent me a picture of Donnie's actual litter box (without his presents that he left me since I cleaned it up already). It's tiny: about 1.5 to 2 inches square. The...

Yes, I'll definitely have to have my husband do the video. Although, chances are, I can do it. I just have to be more focused on what I'm doing and not be as ****y. The fact that he spent the...

Ooo! That's right. I forgot about my steppy thing (which, coincidentally, arrived in the mail yesterday). I will look into whether silicone clue will work with slate.

I'll do some measurements...

Do you mean the cheese trays? I've been looking at them. Donovan's enclosure has floor profile of 12x30 but it's really like 11.5x29.5. So I was just looking at cheese trays that are 9x6. I...
