thanx for looking i have looked everywhere even e-mailing some zoo's for info but havent heard anything yet so thought i would seek the experteese (sp) of people on here as i dont want to loose him he is lovely.luv cath x
this is the only name we have been given i thiught that was the propper name (blushes)i have heard it may be a pale agama but still struggling to find anything significant the reptile shop is usually real good where we got him but he looks like he has red mites on him which were there when we got him so i am desperate for info thanx for taking the time to help me look.luv cathx
i cant get our old digi camera to work so i will get the new one out after and take some pics and post them i have to go out soon for some jabs ready to start my nursing course on mon. thanks for all the help you have given me i will be back soon and would love for you all to help me solve this mystery. luv cathx
that looks a little like it but ours is lighter and not as big .that may be down to the camera though.thanx i have seen photo's but they dont give any info do they. well gota dash be back soon luv cathx
it would be a bit aquard taking it back as the owner of the shop is kind of a friend,we went to school together,and im a soft bugger.are there any reptile vets in the wigan area or near wigan that any 1 knows of that dont rip you off. thanx luv cathx
thanx for that jack, he is a good little eater, crickits,salad and veg.he is on repti sand at the mo this is what the shop recomended im a little concerened as ive heard they can get compacted,what would you recomend instead.luv cathx
thanx everyone have managed to get some stuff to get rid of the mites today,so have sprayed him and completley emptied his viv and done that too the washed him is water. loads of red mites came off, we have put white kitchen roll in the viv now we have been told to do him every 3 days till all the mites have gone.this advice has been invaluable from the people who own CRITTERS at hindley, in wigan.im so glad we went today or we may have had a dead pallid agama on our hands.we also have accuired a corn snake yesterday, our collection is growing by the month!!! so me and hubby are trying to learn as much as poss as soon as poss.phew!!!. luv cathx
thanx tombraider,im really nervous bout startin uni today i will feel beta after this weeks ova.i have been changing the kitchen roll in ste's tank bout 5 times a day every time i see quite a few mites on it i wip it out wipe his viv and put fresh in poor lad i think hes gettin fed up of me interfeerin but it has to be done.he is due to be sprayed again today and washed down so hopefully that shoud get rid of a lot more of the little buggers. where do red mites come from anyway.luv cathx
