    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, I was hoping to get advice on our frilled, Mia. She has a few different symptoms; she is lethargic, has no appetite (but will drink water), she will continually vent and she has a "neck pouch". She is three years old, has a healthy history, but recently lost her companion (he went due to dehydration [our vet didn’t seem the most knowledgeable]). She had these problems before her companion passed, but they seem to be getting worse. She is losing weight and energy, and we are currently feeding her cricket paste through a syringe and supplementing with Jump Start. No one has been able to tell us what exactly the neck pouch is, it is an inflation of the loose skin around the bottom of her neck and under the frill. We have found mostly air but also liquid in it. She is able to breathe, eat and drink with the pouch just fine, and it will even deflate day to day. If anyone could help us out I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Enclosure: H 3’, W 3’, L 6’
Temperature: 75-80, 90-95 in basking spot
Substrate: Care Fresh
Misc: Sandbox, 2 UTH’s, 2 18" UVB’s
