my gf caught this lizard in Jeju, South Korea; we think it's of the Takydromus family; she is caring for him because she's worried about his injury - she has ordered mealworms for him to eat--any other recommendations? - he has had one of his hi
It does appear to be of the takydromus species. These grass lizards are common and fairly easy to keep. Being adept climbers, more vertical space should be offered in an enclosure. Branches and vines can be placed for climbing. Bring reptiles, they need an external heat source and UVB lighting. Daytime temps can range from 24 C to 30 C (75-85 F). Provide a basking spot of around 35 C to 38 C (95-100 F) using a heat lamp. Aim for 70-80% humidity. Provide a shallow bowl for water. Mist the cage daily. Feed appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between the eyes, that have been gutload for 24 hours prior to offering. This will maximize nutritional value. Crickets, mealworms, dubia roaches, waxworms or wingless fruit flies can all be offered. Dust prey with a calcium supplement and a multivitamin supplement several times weekly. Ideally, the wound should be addressed by a veterinarian experienced in treating reptiles. You can clean it with dilute Betadine or chlorhexidine

Hello I am a new owner of a 9 month Eclectus Parrot male almost a week now, so what exactly can i feed him , amount and he is not stepping up like 2 days ago. Any advice plz
Most pet stores will carry a balanced diet specific for parrots that offer a complete and balanced diet. You can also offer some fresh fruits and vegetables as an added treat. If you just got your bird home, he may still be adjusting to the new environment and so may be reluctant to be as social. Offering treats may help. If you do see any signs of illness, however, then a vet check up is best.

Hello, Many Petcos will accept surrendered pets. It depends on individual location. Call your local store and if they do not accept surrenders, they should be able to tell you the closest location to you that does. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco!

My Texas spiny lizard is sleeping more than usual, lack of appetite, and a little green in poop. Should I beworried? What should I do?
It's possible G may have a bacterial overgrowth in his stomach or intestinal parasite. You'll want to take a stool sample into your local Veterinary clinic. Be sure to offer plenty of fresh drinking water and a calm environment.

my gecko recently had something similar to a seizure i think. I did a bunch of research and I think it had to do with calcium deficiency but I'm not sure. I've heard many people saying to take him to the vet but my parents refuse because its "not wor
Thanks for reaching out about Leafy. Seizures in reptiles can definitely due to calcium deficiencies, either lacking in the diet, too cold of an environ or lack of UVB exposure. Diet and husbandry to be corrected, but a veterinary visit can provide injections of these medications, and anti-seizure medications during recovery. Mealworms kept in the refrigerator or crickets straight from the store are insufficient. All insects need to be gut-loaded with dark greens and red/yellow/orange vegetables. Good luck.
