    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

She is a 3 year old Mali a week ago she stopped eating, 3 days later her body seems to stay turned to the right and she is twitching her head, now her back legs are not working exactly right and she keeps randomly flipping on her back and getting stuck like the. Please any advice........
 
It is possible she is impacted ... massage her belly, neck to vent. Maybe that will help her go.

My only other advive is to get her to the vet.
 
When she walks straight her spine won't straighten to the center of her back and the vets say to just soak in warm water for 30 MIN a day and to deworm her
 
Hope your uromastyx is ok. :( I would not use vitasand, that could have lead to the impaction (if that's what it was) because it can bind up in the gut. Your diet is also high in goitrogens - kale, sweet potato, mustard greens - which can cause hypothyroidism and lead to health problems. Try adding more greens like endive, beet greens, spring mix, edible flowers and use more squash than sweet potato.
