Hi All,
Please help me with Sunny? Does anyone know what this sore thing
is on his neck where it goes into his shell? Am sooooo worried about
the little guy? And you can tell in the pic also some of his coloured parts
look like they are peeling also?? Now I will only say this once, he is in a 20
gallon long tank with the top pretty much covered with plastic I put co co
dirt on the very bottom of his cage on top a sphagnum moss orchid bark
mix. He is still pretty small I have had him a year now and this is the first time
I have seen this kind of thing? His temp is over all 85+ more right under the
basking light, humidity is 65-80 . I use a high out put 5.0 repti sun. The only
thing I have changed lately is his hide? I did use a half log ceramic hide that
I would keep the heat light over and it was warm the log. He was getting a little high
for getting threw the door so I made my own plastic hide? I have to think he
did not like it or it did not hold the warmth as good as the ceramic one bc he
would be out of his hide under the heat lamp which he never did before? I use
a 50w heat light if I use more like a 75w it gets to hot for him and he paces around?
Help please? Ideas? I have find another ceramic half log hide for him a little bigger
then and the other and higher door? And it holds the heat also so he is staying in it
like the other one but it is too soon to tell if the plastic one I made did this too him
or did he get burned staying out under the heat lamp too much?? Thanks
