PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
There is a TON of information on this website regarding uromastyx. Please utilize the ‘search’ command at the top of the forum for commonly asked questions and answers before posting. You can search through current posts as well as archive posts going back several years. Use a keyword and try several searches. For example, if you are wondering about the white buildup on your uromastyx nose, type in words such as ‘white buildup’ and search the active uromastyx forum. You will see several posts that address this issue. If you would like additional reading, do the same thing under the uromastyx ‘archives’. If you wish even further reading on the subject, use different keywords e.g. white nose ect. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, do not understand or have questions about the things you are reading, or see conflicting information and would like additional opinions on the subject, then start a thread with a title that accurately describes your situation. Example: “New uromastyx hasn’t eaten for 10 days” When posting about a possible health and/or behavioral concern such as a decrease or lack of appetite, an animal that hides or basks a lot, a uromastyx that is losing weight or is thin, injuries, skin conditions..... try to include as many of the following answers as possible in your post: 1) How long have you owned the animal 2) Dimensions of the enclosure you are using. Measure it- do not guess or give gallon size 3) Species (if known), length, and weight of the animal 4) Listing of all animals kept in the enclosure referred to in the post 5) Basking spot temperature and how that temperature was measured 6) Temperature throughout the rest of the enclosure (warm and cool areas) and how these temperatures were measured e.g. digital thermometer, stick on dial thermometer. Provide the nighttime temperatures as well. 7) Acknowledge whether you are using a UVB bulb and if so, the brand, age of bulb, and distance from the bulb to the uromastyx 8) Diet items being fed and how often each item is fed 9) List of the supplements being used, how much is used, and how often the supplement is used 10) Type of substrate (cage bottom material). If this is sand, state whether it is calcium sand 11) Describe your animal’s daily routine. When it exits the hide, when it retreats for the night, how long it is usually out throughout the day, is it active during this time, how much time does it spend sitting on the basking spot…. 12) Describe your animal’s appetite. 13) Describe any unusual behaviors you are seeing or any recent changes in behavior. Also note whether any recent modifications have been made to this animal’s environment. e.g new enclosure, move to another room, new heat bulb.... 14) Describe how often this animal is handled and the type of handling. 15) State whether the animal has been to a vet, when that was, and whether the animal was diagnosed with a medical condition. Also state whether the uromastyx has ever had a fecal check. If so states when the fecal check was done, what was found, and if medication was prescribed. Photos of the animal and/or issue can be extremely helpful. The more questions that you provide answers to, the quicker and more accurate the return answers/replies will be. |
