She could always relapse, so I'd continue. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the support,and yes vets are useless here but at least I'm trying to do something, and sorry if my knowledge about reptiles is short...that's why I came here in the first place!

You are making a valiant effort, and it is good to see! Some of us here are just very cautious, a trait learned through long experience.

Hey,I had no intention to leave this thread,was on terrain duty this week and just got home today so here's a good update!

Update:

Phenelopy has shed,the shed was good almost in one piece,no signs of sneezing or coughing notice yet,her belly is just beautiful now,no scale rot anywhere,got some shots of her will upload later so everything seams to be in order now,thankfully!

The cultures I took are still undefined, some plates appear to be growing something but it's still to early to tell,will keep an eye on those for few more weeks,that's about it for now!

Hear you soon!

[Snakesitter]

Great news! Hope it all turns out well.

Update: So today I called microbiology lab to ask them if they could check my cultures and they wore quite happy to hear a civilian like me doing some home research and so they invite me over,at first they thought I'm a biology student or something,they wore pretty surprised when I told them I work in the military as infantry man,with a fairly low school degree.The doctor took a look at my cultures and we soon found out that the cultures couldn't fully grow because of the low nutrition in plain agar,so she took a swab from my plates and we transfer the colony to more nutritious blood agar and put them in incubator to grow,and told me that I am welcome any time to come to the lab for check ups and further study on my cultures!

It was quite a day!

Phenelopy trolling around

[marvelfreak]

Glad to hear your BRB is doing better. Plus that's cool their let you come back and check out the cultures.

[Snakesitter]

Agreed! Awesome news all around!

Tomorrow I am calling the doctor to see how our cultures are doing,in the meantime...got a new setting in the terrarium.

on the left: wet side(coco coir + moss)
on the right:dry side (cypress mulch i think)


I know I still need a better hiding place and some climbing barks.

what do you guys think?

[yeloowtang]

that's awesome !!!! and really cool about the culture part.

Good job, will be interesting to see what they find..

looking forward to hearing the results..

[Snakesitter]

I agree, eager to hear results!

[Aaron_S]

It's cool that you have cultures and have a real lab growing them. However, don't get too ahead of yourself as it was already mentioned you got the wrong swab.
