X Rays:
Yes!!!! I can for SURE do that, I feel SOOO happy that I can actually DO something here veterinarian-wise!! I know one vet clinic, a very good one that has made XRays for at least one leopard gecko that I know of, this one (
Veterinaria Los Chorros - Inicio ), and I know two reptile hobbists/friends of mine, that work there as veterinary technicians, I will schedule an appointment for next week!! Would it have to be a regular XRay?? or should something special be ordered?? I am even excited about this!! I would LOVE to see if my guys are OK, and if they are not, since none of them are showing symptoms, I would be able to make the neccesary adjustments in their feeding/supplementation routine!
Depending on the cost, I will do, at least 3 geckos, more if I can afford it, which ones would you recomend?? I have both sexes and all ages, except for hatchlings or juveniles, I was thinking of taking my grandma leo,
MUNCHIES, which is a female, who bred 3 times in her life, and who is somewhere around 12 years of age, was also considering
ALI, a male, who is around 5 years of age (has been with me for one year or so), and
FIRE who also is a male, and is getting close to turning one year old (he was given to me as a gift from a friend who I gave some Reptivite when he needed it, and he gave him to me last december, he told me he was born in june 2013, so, he is about 9 months)... I thought of those 3, in order to have different ages, would you agree?? or do you think it would be better to take the ones that have been with me for the longest?? I have 2 geckos (one male, one female) who have been with me since 2010 (they were both hatched that year), and they both refuse dusting to the max, they spit out if they feel anything dusted in their mouths, and do not eat if they sense the Reptivite "smell"... it would be interested to see how they are since they are the ones that take the least calcium /D3 ... what do you think????
Feeders:
I am currently breeding: Blaptica dubia, Pycnoscelus surinamensis, Blaberus discoidalis, Tenebrio molitor and Zophoba morio, and I buy on a regular basis (at least one or twice a month) Achetus domesticus and Gryllodes sigillatus, and I provide every now and then, wild caught grasshoppers (I catch them in a wild area, nowhere near pesticides), and lastly, a couple times a year I buy Waxworms to spoil them just a tiny little bit.
For my B. dubia and my B. discoidalis I feed:
Powdered chicken food, mixed with oats and tons of fruits and vegetables (the ones I use more commonly are: Eggplant, oranges, carrots, watermelon, cucumber, bananas, succini, potatoes, mangoes, lettuce and apples).
For my P. surinamensis I feed:
All the vegetables listed above, I have offered the powdered chicked food but they do not eat it.
For my worms I feed:
Their bedding consists of bran, oatmeal and powdered chicken food, I provide hydration via vegetables as well, mostly carrots, potatoes and watermellon.
I must say, I got my first gecko as a gift almost 11 years ago, I knew NOTHING about them, and I made ALL the mistakes you can think of... one of them was that I didn´t provide calcium or supplements of ANY kind for at least the first 3 years she was with me (Munchies, she was already 1 - 2 years old), and it didn´t seem to affect her (apparently), however I witnesed one gecko that had early signs of MBD at 1-2 months of age... that tells me they can be very very different...
Inputs????
I would not recommend something that I do not use myself.
