    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....

Ok, he is still chirping like a birdie, and 98% of the Vets I've called don't take Exotics. Not having a car I am having some issues about these Vets. My friends can take me but all these stupid Vets are well..to far away. I have ONE single Vets office I think I can take him to. This really bits!!!! :hot: This is going to be darn exspensive to! :hot: I know just yell at me and tell me I shouldn't of bought an animal without having a car, but that still won't help me any. He doesn't do it very often. He is still eating perfect, has his heat which he soaks up, and just had a perfect shed two days ago! Daddy sat and watched him the whole time, and I missed it because I had to go to work! :hot:

I am trying to find as much information on upper respiratory infections over the net right now. Well, anywayz I was talking to my older sister today and she had said that my real Dad's Snakes got an upper one time and he gave them gatorade, and that Snake is doing good today. Now I'm not calling him because he wasn't a good Dad or anything and we don't talk. I've only ever seen him a few times. He was part of the reason I love Snakes though, and the situation kinda sucks because hes a smart guy. Has quit a few different animals and is into natural medicine. Native American stuff. He always refused Doctors of anykind for him, pets, or his other kids, and always treated them himself. It worked to, everybody was always cured and nobodys dead. My question is, is it ok to try and give Gexie some Gatorade??? If theres anybody out there thats kinda like my Dad with natural medicines or anything that would help. I want to try and help Gexie out as much as possible and make sure this problem doesn't get worse before I can take him to a Vet. So what exactly can I do to help him?? These ingredients in this slurry also, can I take them for instance the herbal supplement and give them seperatley?? Thank you very much for any information you can provide! :)
 
chirping? how old is this Leo? I have month old Leo that just has a fit when I go to feed them. is the Leo just chirping when you pick it up ? upper respiratory infections can happen due to high humidity and or low temps and other reasons I'm sure. none of my Leos ever had a respiratory infection so I'm no expert on that. but the chirping could just be the Leo making noise to let you know its not happy about something.
 
Well, thats what I'm not sure about. I'm not positive on how old he is. We bought him this last April and we could tell he was still a Juvi from the bands which are now almost faded. I have heard him click many a times at me, and this isn't clicking. This is chirping. I thought I was crazy at first. The chirping seems to be coming out of his "ear holes." Whatever those holes in the head are. He does it more when I pick him up, and have only heard him do it without me having to hold him the first day I noticed this noise. I then learned later that night it was him. I can't say I wouldn't be surprised if it was an early upper infection.

I feel bad. I thought I was fine keeping my apartment in the low 80's until we bought the Rats in June and we put it down to 78 in the apartment. I guess I kinda figured it would be alright until I bought an uth before fall. Well he has heat now and still chips when I pick him up sometimes. I only hear this at night also. Pick him up in the day and hes fine. He never goes on the kool side anymore, just sits on the warm side and soaks it up.

I have been looking up a lot though and am confused because like I said everything else is PERFECT. Poops are perfect, perfect sheds, perfect eater, behavior and activity are the same. Skin, mouth, nostrils, toes, and tail all look good. I read that with a respiratory infection most of the time mucus is involved, bubbly stuff. I see nothing. I was thinking about trying to look up audios of Leopard Gecko noises on the net to see if I can find a similar sound. I am going to the Cleveland Zoo the 27th also and plan on trying to DIG for info on the creatures I have. If theres anything I'm good at its being inquisitive! If there are any health problems with any of my babies its internal and not coming out in poop or any other form. Has anybody else heard a Leo chirp?? Anybody else gone through a respiratory infection?? If so info and advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank You!
