Been awhile, last time i was here i had a red foot.. sadly i had to come to alaska and had to re home him. He now lives happily in Florida.
However.. I have obtained a nice little russian. And altho everything i have read , they seem to be an easier keeper than Bert was. But... Does my little fella HAVE to hybernate? Not sure how old he is .. he came from Pet co.. so some of you will know how big he is and maybe his age.
Right now we are in an apartment and will be for awhile. Does he HAVE to hybernate? Is there a way to keep him from doing it? We live in alaska and have 20 hours of dark for several months. right now we have 24 hours of lite. he has his heat lamp and a uvb lite. I keep his warm temps at about 80 or a ltiile under.. (79*) his appitite is good, but he like to hide and sleep alot. unless i bother him and get him out. I think he growled at me today! L0L!! little monster! Everything i read just makes it all the more confusing.. so I come to you! thanks will really appreciate your input!
