I have a nile monitor and would just like to know some in dept tips on how to make sure he is getting what he needs and how he acts.
Thanks for reaching out about Sanic and including photos. Several of the nationally renowned herpetological societies (Chicago, Arizona), have good online information on husbandry and diet. As medical advise, an initial visit with a veterinarian for a physical examination and fecal testing (at least) is recommended. Annual visits are also recommended as follow ups. Husbandry and nutrition are key starting points for long term health, just like in people. A well rounded diet with multiple components, is more likely to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies and excesses. As with any animal, exercise is important. Good luck.

Is my set up for my bearded dragon good? (See attachment)
Thanks for your question about Smaug, and thanks for the photo as well! I think that you have a good start to your set up, and that we can tweak a few items. First, your lighting situation appears adequate - I see a UVB light (please change this bulb every 4-6 months), a basking light, and a ceramic heat bulb. I would ensure that your temperatures are appropriate for this species, and that you are monitoring them using digital thermometers (I think that you see both a digital and analog thermometers currently) at the level of Smaug. Analog thermometers are inaccurate, so I don't recommend using them (also, they are high up on the sides of the enclosure, so they wouldn't be giving an accurate temperature read for Smaug). For the cage furniture that you have, I like that you have places for Smaug to climb and hide. However, I would recommend having a hide on both the warm side of the enclosure and the cool side so that Smaug has choices. Same for the climbing structures. I may have misse

I “adopted “ a RES. He is about 16-17 years old. Recently he developed shell rot, but I noticed his skin is like peeling. Is this part of the shell rot?
The skin will peel as a normal part of shedding, but he may have a concurrent skin infection if there is shell rot. Maintain pristine water quality via filtration and regular partial water changes. Provide ample unfiltered UVB lighting as well as a heat lamp and dry basking area. A balanced diet along with vitamin and mineral supplementation is also recommended. You can use a soft bristled toothbrush and diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) to gently clean the shell once or twice daily. Allow for a 1-2 hour dry dock after each cleaning. He may need to be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to definitively diagnose infection. Antibiotics can be dispensed if indicated. You can review slider care at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/reslider.html

Is pydialite safe for pets to eat and soak in? How does it help? How does it help reptiles skin?
Pedialyte is a balanced electrolyte replacement solution that has sodium, potassium & chloride, & sometimes high amounts of glucose (sugar). It is used primarily in humans, but can be utilized in other species, especially dogs & cats. Since there is no balanced electrolyte solutions for reptiles, if you decide to use some for your reptile, then make sure it is unflavored. It is generally not used for soaking, but as an oral drench in dehydrated animals. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
