I am betting the shed situation is nothing serious, just keeping a close eye on both Leos just in case.

Yeah, my first run with hornworms went that way too. I had a 1-2in balloon up to a green sausage in a day and a half tops. I have them in a cooler and I am swapping cold packs every 8-10 hours to keep them at 50-55F. So far it has worked for the 15-20 I still have from the initial shipment.

Yeah I have been looking for a good price on one. I regularly check local Craigslist too but so far nothing that works has come up. For now the switching works though.

If I ever find a good one on CL, I'll just say it's for wine and store worms in it with bottles of wine. My husband has noticed when we go into stores I frequent sections for things that I could use in both of my gecko's homes, he shakes his head and says "Looking for your lizards again?"

Lol my wife does the same thing. She knows I want to redo the homes for all 3 Reptiles. She also knows me well enough, once I move Pandora from the 40 gallon, I will want something else to go in there. Not sure what else I could get though lol

My husband was eye balling bearded dragons last night and was looking at an exo-terra that the pet shop made a custom background for and said how cool it was. I think the cold-blooded babies are growing on him :)

Nice! Lucky for me my wife loved Reptiles before we even met. Now if only I could sell her on Arachnids... I still have 2 ten gallon tanks. One even has a UTH attached still.

That is disturbing information Todd. I haven't read the full article yet but even a quick glance showed me that this issue is worth looking into... Sad to see but definitely important. Thanks for the link.

EDIT: Just finished reading the article. It is good to find out that they are working towards being able to successfully treat this condition. Still sad to see that it has become more common. I may have missed it in the article but I wonder if there is some sort of genetic predisposition to the aneurysms. Or even perhaps a problem with husbandry? Since I have contemplated getting a Beardie in the future I am very glad you brought this to my attention Todd. Once again, thank you for the information!

So, Arya still has the faded look to her back. The spots on her head and tail are still bright and bold, but they back ones almost look as though they are slowly fading away. Kind of bittersweet because that possibly means she is still pretty young but I do love the pattern she has on her back.
She also has become extremely friendly towards me, like her neighbor Apollo she readily and eagerly climbs my hand. She even follows it when I am doing her normal cleanup. She shows no interest in Apollo though, exact opposite of him when he spots her through the glass. She has started trying to get up the side of her tank now too, so I need to get her a new cool side hide. Or anything that will keep her entertained.
Lastly, she finally stopped trying to eat every bug in the house. She actually left her 9 of her 12 supers alone last night. After the Apollo panic I am sure this is because of her finally getting fed properly and the onset of Winter.

Rather than posting this in both threads for the Leos, I am just gonna keep the initial statement here, then do before and after photos for each in their own thread.

Finally got the tile this morning and as expected I have to go back to Lowes for some minor cutting. So far though I think the colors I picked will do a great job at accentuating each ones patterns and colors. Poor Arya had to get temporarily moved though since she was being all nosy :coverlaugh: guess keeping that 10 gallon with the Zoo Med UTH came in handy after all.
Had to try placing the tile in both tanks to get an idea of how much the 12 x 12s would need to be cut down. As fate would have it, the 6 x 6 poop tiles are actually 6 x 6 and need trimming too. Today and tomorrow are going to be pretty busy days it seems :)

Nah, can't leave her home alone in that 10 gallon. Plus I would have to do it with both tanks... That may look funny :) Tomorrow will be the finishing touches day. Easier to run back and forth, if needed, when someone is home with the babies (Herps) and the kids.

First, and only I hope, round of cuts are done. Hopefully within the next few hours all will be set :) Love that Lowes cuts for free.

Well, I'm a genius :roll: forgot one of the tiles that needed trimming, and my math sucks so I have 2 more that need it too. The before/afters are going to be up tomorrow.

I am working on Apollos first because it is easier to get to completely. Aryas I will need to move in order to safely put everything in place. More photos coming soon!

You jinxed me Jess lol I gotta go back one more time to get about 1/8th of an inch off one of Aryas tiles. Problem is the snow has started so I am going to have to hold off on it.
