Hiii i just picked up this digitsl thermostat and new Basking bulb today, it seems to not be rising? Any ideas on how to fix it? I cant find any info. Its plugged into its own outlet and these two products are compatible i thought
Hiiii thanks to so many peoples help i was able to figure out the first basics to helping this beautiful baby!
Tomorrow im looking for : a cold and hot hide, a real slab rock to bask on, a higher wattage heat emitter, and a real shedding hide.
For now she's on paper towels to monitor her health but she's been exploring like crazy :)
Im putting on her temperature and humidity gadge as i speak 🦎
I currently have a 60 watt heat emitter on, it doesnt feel very warm? But slightly does, during the day a 100 watt heat lamp is on for 12 hours
Hellooo im at petsmart and am not sure if I should get a reptisun t5 14" or if should cover most 40 gallon area and get a 22"
Hello :) im reaching out for help because ive been concerned about the treatment of my partners gecko for a while, waiting for them to listen to my concerns and do something about it. Nothing was done, so ive decided to take over the gecko as my own into my own care. I've done alot of research and the enclosure she's in is HORRIBLE. its a small greenhouse for plants, with a box shed that has a heat mat under, a small ceramic water bowl, and no room to hide, explore, climb, or not get sad in. She's been refusing to eat for months, 4 months ago she was really good about it, but hasn't ate since. Against my partners wishes, when she said she only eats roaches and not try anything else, I tried meal worms, roaches, crickets to intrigue her into something new and still nothing. My partner says its normal and she's probably reaching that old age. But hearing her scratch at her glass I think she's Just miserable.
I've been changing her water everytime and today was my last straw when I saw the small bowl was full of dirt. And idk if it's been like that since I last changed it 4 days ago.
I feel so bad for her i need to help her.
What I learned she needs and am working to get:
40 gallon tank, 3 hides (for shedding, cooling, and warmth), not just a heat mat but also a heat lamp and a uvb light to absorb calcium, 3 different types of dirt, sand, clay, a water bowl to be able to lay in that is changed daily, a temperature thermometer, plants, a bowl of calcium, interactive sticks and rocks she can climb on, she needs a light and dark schedule (not just dark or she's confused).
If im missing anything please tell me.
Im looking on facebook market place for things, i asked to trade my animal crossing Nintendo switch for a 40 gallon tank :( but im not rich, they need lots of things and the add up isnt cheap.
Im starting a go fund me and am hoping anyone who would like to help me save her happiness do what they can ♡
Please no mean comments im here to help this baby not fight
