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.

    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....

Impaction..TIPS PLEASE?!

Almost thought she was gonna try to pass it in her last bath for the night. I swear I've never been so excited over a little tail wiggle, but to no avail :(, she did drink a little water, and wake up in her bath some. She's still pretty water bloated, but I can feel what's left of the worm in there, it does feel as though it's changed shape slightly..Hopefully tomorrow *crosses fingers*
 
I'll most likely get hanged for this, but I've given 8wk olds a meal worm here and there. They usually got a little constipated, but whenever I get the impaction scare, I soak them to try to get things moving along.

So far, it seems you've been doing everything right, I'll keep my fingers crossed that your little guy takes a poo tomorrow :D
 
This was a giant(good 2 inches long) meal worm though it was meant for her one yr old picky leatherback brother...Nooot her. It still feels like a giant knot in the middle of her abdomen. :( It wasn't a very fat meal worm, i think the outer shell is the real problem.. :-\

Thanks
 
She just spit up most of the fluids that were ballooning her up...She pooped some really runny poo, but none of the knot in her belly, it doesn't feel like it's even moving.. :-\ put her under a night light for the night..we'll see what the morning brings.. :(
 
She was awake and looking around this morning, took some water from an eye dropper willingly, knot's still there...on to day 3....
 
Unfortunately Midori died today. :( Looked like she was trying to hack it up, guess it took all that she had...

Thanks for the support everyone...
