Well petco is kind of like having a rescue. Best of luck with them.

The female got a bath so I could try and work some of the shed off of her, plus I figured that it'd help rehydrate her. Her colors honestly look a little brighter. No idea if it's my imagination or not. Either way, as soon as I was done, I went and plopped her back under the head lamp. She still has a lot to lose though.
They have an offering of: chopped up blueberries, green grapes, bananas, and celery leaves, plus a couple of crickets. So, a pretty hefty offering.

Big girl ate today. Just a calcium dusted cricket, but something in her is better than nothing. Cypher is shedding off his stuff quite nicely and I have plans to give him a bath later today to get more skin off him. I figure the more I get off them, the better they'll absorb the UVB and metabolize their food. As far as I know, he hasn't ate, but he's better off than her.

..Yeah. it's kinda rude to post on someone else's thread looking for an ID. I don't know what your lizard is.

Cypher got a bath yesterday and I was able to get a decent amount of dead scales off him. He's pretty active and I'm fairly sure that he's hunting the crickets I put in for them. Ramoth is a lot more sedate and tends to lay around. However, I was able to get her to eat a couple crickets today. I had to hand feed her with feeding tongs since she seems to lack the energy to really move around. Still misting them down, so I know that they're both getting liquid.

Annoying that I can't edit my posts after a certain amount of time.
Dumped in some crickets that were dusted with vitamins rather than the calcium that they have been. I figure that the vitamins will mostly be flushed out when they crap, but anything extra that they can pick up will be of benefit, especially for Ramoth. She's really taking it easy while Cypher is quite active. Anytime I put in crickets I offer her some. So, we'll just have to see how she does.
