Just wanted to update on Rocky. His wheeze has fully cleared up! 👏 He is now much more active, eating and drinking well. He has gained 68g in four weeks. Here he is chilling under his heat. I am so pleased and want to thank you all for your advice and guidance.
Yes I have also been pouring water into the corners. I am still bathing him as soon as I’m awake he pees and poops I pop him back in under his light and he usually stomps around for five then goes back in his cave but I have noticed that he is starting to venture out around his enclosure a...
Thank you. His little wheeze is still pretty evident. I’ve done all I can. His humidity levels are right up now too after I’ve introduced a pool and spray down his substrate morning and night.

So I’ve moved his cave to the middle of his enclosure and his log hide to the left of that. I have continued to soak him and during this time he has a small drink of his water and he wee’s and poo’s. His new flood bulb came yesterday and temps have maintained 40degreeC in his basking end and...
