Herp Help Volunteers
13 years ago
Please only leave your name here if you have solid knowledge and experience. When you give husbandry advice to someone, you are taking the life of an animal in to your hands, and misinformation given to someone who doesn't know better can have dire consequences!
If you are looking for someone to help you hands on with a lizard keeping related problem, please thumb through the volunteers in the comments below! Questions can be answered publicly by replying to their post, or you can note them. DO NOT start a fresh comment thread for your question! It will not be seen and will thus go unanswered.
Do keep in mind that none of their advice is a substitute for Veterinary Treatment. If in doubt, see a vet first. If you are told to see a vet, don't go and ask the next person for a magic cure.. take them to the vet!
If you are willing to offer your expertise to beginning lizard keepers or can help chew on a tougher problem with more advanced lizards, please comment below. Provide a short summary of your experience with reptiles and what you can help with so the curious can choose the best volunteer to ask for their problem. Please keep an eye out for comments in reply to your post here so questions are not missed.

* I work with bearded dragon breeders Dave & Matt of Carolina Classic Dragons (CCD), so you'll get solid and trust worthy information from me with the experiences I've shared and the knowledge I've gained from working with them and their crazy Beardies!
* With the New Caledonian Geckos- I breed cresties and have a solid knowledge-base of them and Leachies. I am very comfortable in discussing anything Gecko-Related, especially arboreal species!
* I also have insect knowledge too. Not just with taxidermy, keeping as pets and such, but also feeders. Most of my research in the Entomology department has helped me greatly when picking great feeders for my herps! Who woulda thought! :)
* I can help in basic medical-related questions; how to treat small/minor cuts, what symptoms to look for regarding a certain illness and what to look for with picking a vet for your scaled companion. But always see a vet if you think your animal is sick! Don't wait for my response to "confirm" your thoughts! Trust your gut :)
