Reptiles - August 2006

I lost the third one today. After a couple of months in my care, they stop eating, and die in two days after they shown weekness. This one I forced feeded. Also it's belly was swollen a day before it died and no, I gave him small amounts of food, just to keep it strong enough to fight whatever was wrong.

Mine seem to sleep underwater but when they're awake they come up for air. Or am I just making things up?

I have had my leopard gecko for over a year now, and I consider myself to be an ok handler. I have had my days when I don't feed her but I try to make up for it the next day. My gecko is fully grown, so I have been keeping her on Calci Sand, and I feed her gut loaded mealworms. However it has now been a week since I have seen her eat. Her tail is now getting smaller so I think she is running on her reserves. I see her drink now and then but she doesn't touch the mealworms she once darted after. I don't think its the sand since she has taken plenty of mealworms since I switched her to it a few months ago. However I have noticed now since she hasn't eaten, that she is having shedding problems, and has already lost a claw. I am really worried, and I have tried a few things, sheet moss, warm soil/sand for her to help shedding...but now she isn't eating, at all. What should I do? Or is it time to get some help from the vet? Thanks a lot in advance!

i bought a tadpole. i know how to care for it now, but what do i need to do with it as it starts to turn into a frog? and when it is a full grown frog? ( i have a pac man frog as well, so i'm assuming that i just feed any other frog crickets too....) and don't worry, i know not to put them in the same aquarium. lol

oh, and i know i put this under reptiles.. even though a frog is an amphibian

What is the difference between fluorescent bulbs that are T-8 and those that are not (for reptile habitat)? The T-8 bulbs are so much more expensive, is there some reason they are worth it?

Obviously, he wouldn't appreciate being submerged.

Can I give him a sponge bath? Do they make lizard soap? :)
