Hey forum. So my sulcata Koopa is about a year old now. He is my little baby and I worry about him like a mother! In February he caught a little bit of the sniffles and I freaked out, took him in to the vet and they gave him shots. My boyfriend, Mario, and I did the shots for him and he got alot better.
About a month ago now same thing happened and the vet told us just come get another set of the shots so we did. Well it didnt help as much this time. Last night and this morning Koop is really sniffly and squeaky and I am worried but the shots are just too much and Koopa hates them and so does my boyfriend. I feel like I am doing something terribly wrong!
He has a large indoor inclosure. The cool side stays around 75-80, his hot side is around 90 all the time and he has a basking light in the middle of the two. He gets dandilion greens, mustard greens and spring mix every morning. The humidity isnt that high but we recently put a bunch of moss on his house and spray it all the time. I give him soaks a few times a week as well.
He has an outdoor enclosure that Mario built him and he spends about 3- 4 hours outside about 3-4 days a week (it hasnt been very hot here in the bay area.)
I am so sorry this is super long but I am at a complete loss of what else to do to stop his sniffles and wheezing. It breaks my heart to hear! Please any feedback or help would be extremely appreciated!!
