    1 year old yellowfoot no growth?

    I have had my yellowfoot for almost a year now. I feed him 5-6 days a week, every time something different. I have had trouble keeping humidity up even though I mist 2x a day. What can I do better?

    seems sluggish...

    Could it be from the weather and how daylight changes in the fall? I have a 100 watt power sun in a 20 gallon tank. The substrate is a mix of sand, sphagnum and eco earth.He recently had something stuck in his eye but I took him to the vet and got ointment and that worked. He was fine even when...

    Hermann's has one eye closed for about a week

    i changed his substrate to a better one and have been soaking him more. I even tried flushing his eye out with lukewarm water. I don't know what else to do for him except take him to the vet (which I don't want to do because money). It's not infected or swollen in fact he can open it a little...

    How is my temporary setup for my yellow foot?

    This is what the enclosure looks like now. I took your suggestions and have a powersun on the left and a night bulb on the right. It gets about 90 degrees. I also used a few water bottles to wet the ground. Anything else I should do?

    How is my temporary setup for my yellow foot?

    Should I move the power sun light where the sphagnum is? And then put the night heat light on the other side?

    Yellow foot's eyes are closed

    Funny, as soon as he soaked, his eyes opened. What's the link to the enclosure thread? Tomorrow morning, I am going to get a better uvb light and screen top.

    Yellow foot's eyes are closed

    I just got Speedy in the mail on tuesday. I just realized today that his habitat was not moist enough and that's why his eyes were closed. As you can tell from the pictures, I put New Zealand spaghnum moss on the cool side of the tank and watered the crap out of it. Will he be okay? How long...
