Can somebody tell me if cypress mulch is dusty? I was given a 2 year old Leopard, about a month ago, who i noticed had a runny nose the first night i got him. I figured it was just stress or something, didnt really worry about it because he was eating like a pig. Well of course he still has this runny nose, no bubbles, just his nose is wet, still is eating like crazy, and is active. However here is where it gets a little weird, i had to take one of my tortoise to the vet, so i figured ill get him checked out while im there. I put him in a box with burmuda grass loaded him in the car and left. I get to the vet open the box, he is active, and his nose is completly dry, not wet at all. So why is this, is the cypress mulch bothering him at all. I would take him outside, but its a little cold here right now. Im just a little confused on why it would clear up when i took him out on burmuda grass, but in his enclosure on cypress its wet?
Oh also is it normal that he is very active in the morning, eats, and then stops being so active after 3:00, does that sound normal? Temps in the enclosure are always 80 degress or alittle above, with a basking area 100-105.
