| 2009-09-15 | Chelsea | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! that really helped |
| 2009-09-13 | Brenda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your info. It goes against everything I have read and also your answer but I really think in Snickers case it was impaction. He was to the T every symptem from pysical to personality. From what I have read he is also smaller than he should be. For my piece of mind, I will just spend an everlovin fortune in crickets for awhile. Now for the embarassing part with the foot shaking. It was crusted babyfood that had fused his toes together. I guess I will not be getting the mother of the year for 2009. Have an awesome day. Brenda |
| 2009-09-10 | Paige | 10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | No | Thanks so much, Thea, based on reviewing the previous responses on the website, I had a feeling that's what you would say. We gave her a tepid bath and she seems less lethargic. I may try and change the substrate and get the chicken-based baby food tomorrow. Really appreciate it. |
| 2009-09-08 | Nick | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | From what I can tell it appears that they know there stuff. I appreciate the quick response and I hope I can get my Breaded Dragon back to normal. Thanks Again |

| 2009-07-21 | paige | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I really appreciate you getting back with me. She seems to be better now. I've started noticing her being green more often in her vivarium now instead of always being dark brown. I think she may have also been poor in health. She has been eating a lot and spot lamp basking instead of hiding. I can let her climb onto my hand and feed her meal worms out of the other. It is really neat. Thanks, Again |

Expertise
I can answer questions on the proper husbandry and diet of Iguanas, bearded dragons, geckoes, skinks, chameleons, tortoises, box turtles, treefrogs, non-venomous snakes and tarantulas. Also the breeding of some species of feeder insects. I have no experience with venonmous snakes and only limited experience with aquatic turtles.
Experience
I have been keeping and breeding reptiles for over 30 years. In addition to my regular job in the medical field I also worked for several years in a pet store that specialized only in exotics. The job entailed both caring for and answering questions on innumerable species. It required constant, extensive research into a wide range of reptiles. I have been called to appear on televised national media (CBC, CTV and Life Channel) as well as CBC radio to discuss the proper care of reptiles and other exotics in captivity. I currently own one or more species of those listed under my expertise with the exception of chameleons. I owned chameleons for years but keep none currently. I keep over 20 snakes comprising 5 species, both Colubridae and Boidae. I bred corn snakes for several years. I have a particular interest in treefrogs and currently have 5 different species. I've raised redfoot tortoises for 10 years and have two iguanas, one for 12 years.
