Tiago, Picture update for the wrong reasons.....Lethargic?

[tyler0912]

Well Tiago has not ate in 2-3days and has slept...CONSTANT for 2-3 days...i touched him he was FREEZING but wont go under his light....
I turned his heat matt on under his hide where he is...well....hiding?

I prepared his meal today as usual....

But he looked at it, and ignored it..... like a size 0 model towards food!

I checked to see if he lost weight....Nope!

I also bathed him as he was freezing and probably dehydrated.....he stayed in his shell....Which is not like him he loves bathtime..
Also when he eats he is usualy a pig........

Is he okay?
Am i over reacting....? Huh?
His temps are about 35-40*C (95-104*F)

Thankyou...

P.S- I felt he needed a hug so i taken a picture of us having a hug...but my hair was a mess....PHOTO-DELETED!

Tyler what are his temps on the cool side ? Have you changed ANYTHING at all in regards to his routine??? Even anything tiny?

 

[tyler0912]

Not his routine?
The temps are 70-75-80*F are these okay?
I added his log hide that he use to have he use to love it...i taken it away he was fine...i give it back this happens? he is hiding in the hide now!
He has ignored the food i put him under the lamp he hid again! UUGGHH!

 

[ascott]

So the hide was in there before, you then took it out---why? and now you put it back and was that around the time that his behavior changed? What is the hide made out of?

I think that the temps on the cool side should be more like 76ish and the hot side near 90ish....this is the area that I keep my two little ones in? What is his humidity sitting at?

 

[tyler0912]

my humidity is at 85% is my basking spot to warm?
I took it out to make space i put him a smaller hide in....he refused to use it so i felt he felt unsafe. It is a half log hide!

 

[ascott]

I think that if it were me I would actually bump your hot spot temps to closer to 85-90ish and your humidity is good but your temps should be a bit higher if you are running the great humidity like you are....the temps are a little low for my comfort level....I would bump your over all temps and retain your humidity and see what Tiago feels like in a day or so, they should respond rather well to environment change...warmer with the high humidity would be my suggestion to begin with....

But there are loads of other folks here that have much much more experience with the RFs than I...wait and see what else is recommended...but I would bump the temps to begin with....

 

[tyler0912]

I wrote....
Hotspot: 35-40*C (95-104*F)
Cool side: 70-75-80*
Are you confusing what i wrote or am i confusing what you wrote?

 

[dmmj]

hot spot sounds fine, the 70 to 80 cool side is a big range, can you get a more accurate read. Also light schedule will play a role in them feeding. If he is cold he simply won't eat.

 

[tyler0912]

his light goes on at 7am and off about 10pm-11pm his temp on the thermometer is 76*

 

[ascott]

LOL Tyler....okay so I would have the cool side at about 76ish and the hot spot about 85-90ish more near the 90ish mark.....and I am saying that your humidity is great IF your temps are warm enough...otherwise the humidity can be a bad thing if your temps are too low...okay

 

[tyler0912]

IM CONFUSED...Is it good...or need tweaking?

 

[ascott]

Cool side: 70-75-80*

This was the confusing part to me....this is why I replied you will want your cool side to be at 76ish....

Temps ranging in your cool spot from 70-80 is a big variable...so if you get your cool side to stay at 76ish that would be good....

Your light times are good.

Your humidity is great (as long as your temps are warm enough)

Your hot side is alright, although I wold bring it closer to 90ish temp

okay?

 

[tyler0912]

Thankyou! When i turn his light off i wil see if he has eaten any...i hope! **CROSSES FINGERS**

 

[ascott]

I hope he eats too

 

[tyler0912]

 

[tyler0912]

Tyler 104 is too high. I don't have a cool side, so I can't help you with that. But my temp.'s are around 85 - 90 throughtout the viv. I don't have a heat light, just heat emitters with a tube UVB. Everyone does things differently, but last Summer when the temp.'s reached 106 in my yard, I was told to bring Solo inside as it was too hot.

 

[tyler0912]

DONE!!
I highered his light now the temps are 95-96* ?

 

[tyler0912]

Exactly the same today, not eating at all!

Have you tried a favorite treat?
