Hello, it’s been a long time since I post here. I’m worried that one of my blue tongues is unwell. I’m hoping it’s just another false alarm and I’m too paranoid yet again. I hear clicking when he breathes and he was coughing too. There’s no mucus in his mouth or nose and his eyes are clear. He...

Hi there, I’ve had my Murray Darling for about 3 years (got him from a pretty dodgy pet shop). He’s been absolutely amazing, eats great, super friendly, sheds are amazing etc. he does go off food for a few of the cooler months of the year but vet has informed me that’s pretty normal. He’s...

Hi there, I have a 2 year old Murray Darling. He’s been doing really well, good sheds, eating great, pooping etc. Today I saw he had his mouth open like he was yawning. There’s been no signs of sickness or anything like that and he seems his usual self. Is this normal (it’s the first time I’ve...

Hi guys. Newbie - apologies in advance if I'm asking daft questions. Got our SW carpet in November and it was extremely thin. 80cm, 14mths old and was getting 1 hopper every 14 days. We upped it to weekly feeds of same and he put on some weight. Went through a very easy, trouble free shed a...

So my water dragon hatchlings (7-10 weeks) have been in their new enclosure for about 2 weeks. The larger one is comfortable enough but he has gotten bloated over the last week. What are the chances this is an impacted gut? He doesn't seem to have any behavioral, feeding or energy changes. Is he...

Hello everyone, was just hoping for a bit of advice with my yearling Diamond Python Kerrigan. My partner and I took her to the vet about a month ago to treat her for a RI (followed by enrotril injections once every two days, didn't get better after the first two weeks so we went for a second...

Hi guys, I purchased a baby Macleay from Amazing Amazon around 5 years ago, and have followed the care guide from Australian Freshwater Turtles as closely as I could (except the width of her tank is a bit smaller than advised, and she’s the fussiest eater you’ve met). I had great plans for her...

I think my jungle carpet python may have scale rot and/or vicious scale burn? He is very rough to touch on his underside, especially on the end of his tail - His scales look totally mutilated, "healthier" parts are bright red/pink. I think he may have gotten ontop of his heating lamp that has a...

Hi everyone, Just a quick question, I have a 5 year old coastal carpet python and around 2 weeks ago I tried to feed him but he regurgitated it. Up until then I've had no problems with him and he has been very healthy with heating, newspaper bedding changed every 3 weeks or when he poos, fresh...

Sorry didn't know what to title this? I recently got a little Blue Tongue Skink a couple of days ago and have named them Alduin. I've been trying not to disturb Alduin but tonight had to take them out of the tank for a moment to swap UV bulb. The tube bulb had a problem with it so I got a new...

going through a power outage sure to last all night & through to the next day - meaning my freezer is down & pinkies for my stimson will surely be defrosting. was planning to feed him tomorrow but I can’t imagine they’ll stay fresh until morning - would best bet be to feed as soon as possible if...

Hey, Our boy Spyroh has been healthy as ever lately but randomly started doing this in his tank and freaking out, we got him out on the floor and he kept doing it, changing sides/legs that he is limping on. After a while he would do this at the start of his run and then return to normal. He's...
