I took in two rescue Russians last week. Christmas presents that wore out their welcome. One is completely fine. Active, roams around and eats well. The other not so much. She sleeps constantly, doesn't eat, and will just sit in one spot all day. I'm soaking her daily and she is active then trying to escape, but as soon as in the enclosure even if placed right in front of her food she just falls asleep.
I'm currently keeping her in quarantine in a Xmas tree storage tote. Hot side is 95 and the enclosure from that end drops to 80 in the middle to 75 in the far side. Substrate is moistened coir and topsoil with a layer of cypress bark on top and the basking area has Timothy hay as well piled up under it. I'm keeping the enclosure bright incase it's her trying to burmate. She has a 100 watt MVB on one side, a arcadia HO T5 12% and a LED light fixture for illumination. I don't know much about her history pass she was bought at Petco in Dec. Any ideas here?
