It's not likely to be so cool that it would make Oli sick. especially since he stays dry!
I would be tempted to leave the lights off while you are away.Well let me put it this way: temp reached about 30 degrees C about two weeks ago, but it dropped to only 20 today! It it not col, but not it isn't as warm as it usually is in May.
Yes. So don't worry.I would be tempted to leave the lights off while you are away.
There is no chance of temperatures where you live dropping low enough for Oli to hibernate and every chance that things could suddenly get a lot hotter.
Oli will be absolutely fine without UVB and basking for such a short time
One other question ladies and gentlemen: what if I do NOT leave the light on?
Yes, power is frightening, and that is the reason for my question. I don't think I will leave it on.I do not leave lights on if I'm away for more than a day's worth of errands. I think it's an unnecessary risk if there isn't someone to check in.
Thanks a lot your very helpful post as well as your kind words.It is a very much deserved trip my dear friend . I would leave him two saucers with water and some food ( you can add things he usually doesn't want to eat, like dandelions clover radicchio and some familiar things). You know I have a spoiled one too, he had gone without eating for two days and the day three he was muncing on dandelions . Also, soak him night and morning before the trip. Leave him some cucumber too. I would turn the lights off.
Hi Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.Hi, Gillian!!!
Did you take your break ?
Hope you had a lovely time and Oli managed alright.
Tidgy sends him a big kiss.
Hmmmmm.Hi Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.
No I'm afraid not. Was not able to move from Amman till OLI's new enclosure was ready. And once it was:
a) a heat wave began with temp reaching 38 degrees C in Amman and 46 degrees C in Aqaba! Don't want to go and remain at a hotel. I want to enjoy the sea, the sun.....know what I mean?
b) OLI has been driving me nuts: he keeps flipping on his back, and this means I cannot move till I solve the problem/he gets used to his new enclosure.
Regards to Wifey (hope she is now well), and LOVE to Tidgy from OLI.
Thanks your PM as well as your help.Hmmmmm.
Sorry about that. Though 46 degrees would be super for me.
Have replied to your PM.
Very kind and understanding of you Ed. But what about the.......heat wave?Put the new enclosure away untill you get back and deal with it then.
Don't miss your get a way.
Eight corners.
This is the first I've seen of it.
Oli is used to walking a much bigger area.
Hopefully he'll settle down.
The heat would stop me too. But I'm sure that middle eastern weather is nothing like our tropical system.
I know that you like it warm, so it must be bad.
I guess you are right: OLI got used to roaming around the flat, let alone the street, when I take him out for "walks." The issue is really worrying me: imagine that it is now past 3 am here and I just have not been able to fall asleep!Eight corners.
