    Default Ok so a couple more pics and a maybe stupid question


    First pic is of Betty tonight and second is of Miss Piggy. Now my question. I was putting dusted crickets in for Betty last night and she jumped right under them and got some of the calcium powder on her head....I swear you would think she was starving. Is that going to hurt her? I tried to rinse it off but if looks could kill I would be dead lol

    She should be just fine. Maybe the powder would dry her a little bit but it shouldn't be too bad. After all she wasn't completely covered in it. Just be sure if you rinse her off to use dechlorinated water!

    I used her pond water which is bottled spring water.

    Sounds good, as long as it's not bottled water sold for human consumption. That often needs to be dechlorinated too.

    Edit: then again if you're just using it to rinse her off it shouldn't matter that much. It's not like a pool she's going to be sitting in all the time.

    Also an edit: I'm not 100% certain on the spring water thing. It could be just fine. Help, somebody?

    Edit: After doing research, yeah, spring water should be fine. I was confusing it with something else. Sorry!

    I use spring water too, but I also add Reptisafe, just in case. My guys get the dust on them all the time. I just put some of their water into a squeeze bottle and use that to rinse them off. Works great and is better than spraying them directly in the face! :P
