Strange behavior following regurge

I actually meant that "What type of thermostats are you using." to be of the "?" variety. Sorry, been melting the tubs and have a nice, albeit probably hugely toxic, buzz going. I should probably stick with more natural methods of mind-alteration....
 
I have some decent $30 thermostats I got a herpsupply.com. I have 4 of them currently and I really love them, and they work well for me because I never had more than 3 reptiles at one. I use one for the hot side, directly over the mat, and I check this area with the temperature gun every day because even mats can develop hotspots. The faulty probe I found probably was probably due to it getting wet at some point on my part. Then, I have another for the cool side. There's probably a more economic way to do things, because $60 for thermostats every time you acquire a new animal probably isn't the best way to go LOL. It also gets confusing sometimes when you're trying to find out what belongs to who and what side of the cage its set on. I'm still relatively new at this too, and have a lot to learn, so at the start I never try to buy something too expensive unless its obviously crappy.

Was it coccidia? I tend to get confused about my drugs alot, its been a while since I looked them up, but I'm pretty sure albon is used for coccidia. Whenever my guy had bacterial infection I was given Baytril.

I really need to get back on the loop with these. I used to be really good at remembering them all but I haven't taken out my books in a while. That "Understanding Reptile Parasites" has been collecting dust, speaking of which, I need to get the new addition of.

She was tested for everything and found negative, but my vet wanted to be sure anyway, and that's what she wanted me to use. I don't know what happened, but between that and Panacur, she's doing great now. I still don't give her a weight-appropriate size prey--in theory, she shoud be eating adult mice, but I give her a slit weanling. She's just still too thin, I think, to handle larger size (you can still see the bulge from the weaned). Just something else to consider.
