Shelly&Poseidon
New Member
Hey all! Been lurking and reading through the site for the last few months. But hoping to get some advice before I through the kitchen sink at her.
I got two baby Hermann's for the kids (Shelly and Poseidon) I think they where around 2-3m when I got them back in February. Up until a couple weeks ago they have both been big eaters and fast movers. Now Shelly's eyes are swollen shut and white. And I am not sure what to do from here. (Poseidon is fine with no swelling or whiteness around eyes)
I ordered some zoomed eye drops to try. Anything else I can or should be doing?
Appreciate any help and for such an awesome forum. I tried to follow the info for new people thread as closely as possible for lights and substrate etc.
Substrate: Coconut (It has mostly been dry other then spraying some water a few times a day. I am trying to keep it more moist now)
Temp/Humidity: 71-85F / 40-80
Supplements: occasional calcium powder added to food. (Will be adding cuttlefish bone to cage this weekend)
Soaking: once a day 30minutes - Should I increase to 2-3 times a day?
Diet: Mostly Kale, spinach, cilantro, and pellets a couple times a week. (Should I add carrots and dandelion leaves from the backyard? )
Lights:
UV only 2hrs a day in the afternoon. They also get some direct sun light through the window in the late afternoon:
