  • I just got in a female abronia that was failing to thrive and want to go through the beginning process of helping her get back to good health. Also wanted to discuss things everyone should consider before choosing to get an Abronia themselves! For a lot of people, they wouldn't make ideal pets and I'm going to discuss why!

    All very good points!
    Also, props to the previous owner for agreeing to send her to us for the sake of the animal. It is hard for many people to not only set pride aside and accept help in the first place, but also lose out on an investment and beloved pet for the well-being of that animal. Remember if you find yourself in a similar situation it’s always okay to ask for guidance, and even turn the animal over to someone if it is determined that is what is best.

    I have also talked to Nick at abronia alliance, and he said you can dust your crickets with panacure for about 7 feedings. It’s just a bit harder to find granules. Hopefully she pulls through. I just went though a similar situation but she had a necrotic fungus that had to get amputated. She’s doing very well now but I got set up for failure, hoping she makes a full recovery

    • @Salamanders1018
      @Salamanders1018 Рік тому

      And by the way the tail looks, and what I’ve heard from most other people say if it’s that severe or a regrown odds are it’s a wild caught. But you have experience with abronia so she’s better off now forsure

    I've been caring for dumpies for about 2 years now and i've been considering an Abronia now that I have a bit more experience. in particular I've been trying to find a captive breeder because I don't want to contribute to the trafficking of wild caught ones. I appreciate the information on how to properly care for them and the warnings for beginners.

    I do share the temperature sensitivity with them. I do look at video but wouldn't get one for myself as I know that it's for way more advanced person than me who got the fine tuning of a habitat for such species.

    This shows a big problem in the pet trade. We have animals like abronia that most zoo can’t get access because of their increasing rarity in captivity. The tragedy that too many abronia (mainly gramina) are trafficked then never able to reproduce in captivity. With animals like this people need to understand what they are getting into with these animals because with these species keepers run a fine line between conservation and poaching. Thank you for putting more abronia content out It helps the movement

    She's beautiful. Great that she's in better hands. Can UVB rays go through glass and screen? My vet says no and I have used my UVB meter on both glass and screen and no UVB showed up. IDK. Just thought I'd ask.

      Uvb doesn’t go through glass at all. Screen blocks some of the uv but still let’s a lot of it through.

    This is unrelated to this video but I was wondering what I should do to tame my Nelson milk snake I’ve had him for awhile and tried to hold him many times but he always slithers quickly away and if I do get a hold of him he musks is he redeemable to become tame?
    Edit he also didn’t come from a breeder I got him from a pet store because that day my sisters cat killed my fire snake before I got home with tank for him and I was upset so we went to get a new snake and that’s what I found.
