This is exactly what we try to educate the public about. Many people hear horror stories about substrate causing impaction; HOWEVER; as this video also states and explains, that is due to overall husbandry/diet. If these things are not adequate or up to par; then yes; impaction can be a huge risk. This is also one reason why we tell any potential adopters; their temperatures must be on par before they adopt the animal (aside from other husbandry requirements). We also see many people choose substrate that is not safe or proper for a lot of different species. Proper substrate is also very important. Think of where the animal is native to; and what they may have as substrate options; then try to replicate that. But ALWAYS test your temperatures BEFORE you bring the reptile home. Surface basking temperatures should be measured with a temperature gun; and your ambient temperatures should be read by digital thermometers - not analogs as they are inaccurate.

These two 3-5 year old boas came in today from Pocono wildlife center. These two definitely have neurological issues and they are pretty confident do not have IBD. The one has a deformity on his chin as well: more than likely from inbreeding as these were just used as breeders. Our one foster came today for them and will just give these two boys a forever home since they are special needs.

*PENDING ADOPTION

These three whites tree frogs came in tonight. 2 are snowflakes. They are thin. Our foster will try to get them to eat more and gain some weight. They will be quarantined and fostered and up for adoption once they are cleared.
