Tragedy has struck our most loved monitor lizard Slinky. Temperatures got near freezing overnight in Florida and Slinky was able to escape his heated hide box and was trapped outside overnight in the cold. Warning, this is a very upsetting video!

This video helped me save my cousins lizard. They presumed it dead because it was super cold, it wasn't moving, and was literally lifeless. I told them to not panic and just slowly bring it's body temp back up and I got the news today that it's still alive! I would've never even suggested that if I didn't see this video!

Okay so from what it looks like you have something like a zoo out in the open and the temperatures are real bad down there why not build a green house made of plastic you can build a huge onr over the enclosure the greenhouse effect is designed for plants but u can use it for reptiles it provides much more heat that the animal needs instead of just leaving the turtle there and covering debris over the turtle thinking it's going to be warm like that provide more heat until naturally it gets hot again then you can let them roam free

I live in Texas, and I work in a pet store. We struggled with the winter storm. The electricity and water went out for a week. Our reptiles looked dead. But they all reacted when we picked them up. We tried our best to warm them up with towels and our body heat. I was so relieved when all of our babies survived.

My story isnt about a reptile but when my pitbull was about 10 months old (he is 9 years old now) I lived with my GF at the time and some roommates. Our one roommate had an adult pitbull who lived with us and the dogs were always together. One day after work I was home alone and had a bad migraine. Took some advil and fell asleep on bed. Woke up to the bottle on floor with teeth marks all through it and I found about 11 advil on the floor. The bottle of 50 was about brand new with less than 20 out of it. I was panicking. Didnt know which dog ate advil or which didnt or if they both did. Roommate ended up giving her pit peroxide to make him puke. I took our puppy to the emergency vet. He ended up having to stay there for 2 or 3 days and they said if I didnt bring him in the amount of advil he ate would shut his (i believe liver) down quickly. They had him on fluid IV and I went to see him after the 1st day and he couldn't control his pee from all the fluid and it would just shoot out of him into the air. Poor baby. So glad 9 years later I still have him. Dont have my GF anymore tho lol

It seemed like a genuine mistake, where he forgot to latch something, but then as he did his morning walk through, it was clear that he didn’t even have latches to latch the lid closed. He even stated at the end that he should have bought a latch a long time ago. He doesn’t deserve hate, but ignoring a known point of escape is negligent. (edited to change the word neglect to negligent due to some miscommunication.) If anyone has reptiles, or is looking to get into reptiles, make sure you have the means and proper equipment to take care of them. Especially when it comes to enclosures, reptiles are escape artists. Latches are a must. I guarantee this wasn’t the first time he escaped that enclosure like that.

@@dyzastrus5450 yeah he specified that there are usually screws that he puts in the lid to keep slinky in there... but he said he didn't do a "last walk" and it was too dark to see if the screws were there or not. But he didnt check so... Still his fault, which he admitted dozens of times... but he doesn't seem neglectful, And on the contrary, this IS a rare occurrence and has actually never happened to any of his animals. And why would he neglect his favorite lizard instead of the rest of his reptiles? Unnless this keeps happening, I wouldn't call it neglect. Neglect would be NOT giving him a heating pad, shelter, food, water and other things he needs to live.. He has a lot of animals to take care of and he does a pretty good job, plus you can tell he genuinely cares, which is why he'll probably never make this mistake again.

@dyzastrus5450 3 жыл бұрын

@@Barry_Macaque I totally agree he likes his animals. I think you may be misunderstanding what I mean by neglect. It has nothing to do with how much you like an animal, or if it happens once or a thousand times. He neglected to secure the lid properly for quite some time, and he neglected to check the lid that night, when it really mattered. I’m not saying he is a bad guy or mean to animals, but you gotta call a cat a cat in this case. Neglect doesn’t mean he was ill willed, it just means he didn’t do what he should have done, when it should have been done, and it almost cost his favorite lizard it’s life. It’s like leaving the fence open to your pool when toddlers are around. If the child falls in and drowns, it is due to neglect. Regardless of if it was the only time they ever left the gate open. That’s what I meant, neglect, in its purest and simplistic form. This is a great learning experience for everyone. No matter how much experience you have, you cannot ignore the small details. What you are referring to would be considered gross negligence.

They aren’t just lizards. My bearded dragon is my saving grace for so many reasons. I didn’t want him, not really but my mom had gotten in touch with a local reptile rescue and they had one there. I was incredibly underprepared for him. I did research but that’s it. My beardie brought me out of depression, I’m disabled and I had major health problems going on at the time. I haven’t left my room in a year really and I haven’t had a life in 7 years. I’m 20 now. Having him in my room made me not feel so alone all the time. He gave me a reason to get out of bed because he needed me. I love him so much, more than I’ve loved any dog or cat in a long, long time. He is a part of my family 100%.

Some people might not believe how much such a little animal can help and how absolutely stunning they are. Our little beardy of ~15 years sadly passed away a few months ago after I basically grew up with her. It hurt._. But I'm glad to have all these awesome memories of her and damn do I miss her stinky poops. What a lady she was haha :D Anyway. I wish you the very very best and so much love!!

I don't have reptails( yet) but i was adopted by a stray kitten unexpectedly couple of months ago. She has a tendency to get everywhere and one morning when i woke up i could not find her ( it had been snowing), i called her and hear a tiny meow,i found her locked in the kitchen's balcony( it's closed balcony, but still much colder than the rest of the house). She had got in there after my grandma and my grandma didn't see her and closed the door leaving her there. Thankfully she was not there for long but she was slightly shaking when i took her back inside , i hugged and cuddled her until she was warm and comfy again, poor baby. My grandma know always checks for her to be sure of where she is and not having the same happen again.

I used to work in the dairy department at a Walmart. One day towards the end of my shift I found a lizard on one of the pallets of milk I was stocking off of. I panicked and scooped the little critter up with me. Depending on when they got on the pallet they could have been in the cold at least sixteen hours. I took the lifeless creature out in the back hall and left them there to warm up. I didn't even know if they were dead. Every once in a while during the rest of my shift I keep checking the spot where I left them. The lizard kept changing all kinds of colors and then I eventually didn't see the lizard where I left them and was relieved. I found them not far away and when my shift was over, I took the lizard home with me and released them into my yard. I really hope they didn't get eaten by something after having survived so much already. Reptiles are resilient little creatures.
