The temps im mentioning are measured inside his enclosure - the 111f im not sure how i can lower, i can't raise the lamp any higher than it is - this is only an 80w bulb.
As for where i will keep him when he grows bigger - ofcourse im not living in this condo forever or i wouldnt have gotten a...
Okay i will revert him back to his much smaller, original enclosed box - just sucks when he got this much larger one that i spend a bunch of money and effort on, that in theory should be better.
Will update later and see if i see an improvement in his condition, but i reckon it will take a few...
But if my baby got kidney damage, is that for life or will he be able to grow out of it?
What do you think about keeping him outside and he gets his UV/UVB exposure from the sun ?
I can moisten his enclosure daily without much issues, and during rain season it's well above 80% humidity...
The tempature im describing is inside his enclosure, which matches the ambient tempature very closely within a few degrees.
The pellets were recommended by the vet, thats why i changed over to pellets only, prior to that i did a mix of pellets + greens or greens only, his appetitte declined...
The temperature in my condo is 85f+ during the day and maybe 80f at night, and he is inside the condo in an enclosure.
As i wrote the lamp over the food is not heated, its just a UVB bulb, he got a seperate basking area with a heat/uvb combo bulb in another corner.
Veggies i mean green...
His enclosure is under my kitchen table, and my condo isn't that big to house that - so if the closed enclosure is needed id move him back to the "box" I originally first housed him in - he hasnt outgrown it as he is same size as when i got him.
Vet told me to stop veggies - to be fair he...
No, whenever he does poop (rarely these days as he doesnt eat a lot), its always solid pellets.
I don't put a ton, and i have for a while not put any and it didnt change his feeding behaviour - i also swapped his food to some diffrent sized pellets and brands in case he was picky...
That would be a ridiculously large cover, i used to have him in a semi transparent "moving" box that is a lot smaller and with a lid. It was for sure warmer and more moist in that box, i still got it, so i could move him back into it.
I live in Thailand and the room he is in doesnt have AC turned on - the room temp is all year around 27c/80f - and at his heating lamp, at the very center its 44c/111f - he used to bask in the heating lamp before, but again these days i don't see him go over there much - he got a large...
Hey,
Im a new reptile owner and bought a Sulcata from a market here in Thailand back in June, when i got him he was 38g he quickly (1 month) gained weight up to around 54g and now we are in february, aka 9 months later and he is hovering around 53g - he peaked at 58g but been settling around...
