    Mad Chinese water dragon

    The only problem is the humidity is a little low but it is low for my other one too and the water is bottled so I would hope it’s not contaminated it could be a shedding issue I just picked up something from the store today to see if that helps with itching and shedding so fingers crossed this works

    African Sideneck won’t bask

    No I do not use one she has not comes out to bask at all still and won’t come out if I have a bright light so I use the infrared light that is 100watts and that keeps the water about 77 degrees and the basking about 84 degrees

    African Sideneck won’t bask

    Ok then if I do that I will most likely add more water to the tank and add the basking area I use a temp gun to measure the basking spot that’s why I don’t have a thermometer. I also don’t understand why when the lights are on she hides and when the lights go off she comes out anything I read...

    African Sideneck won’t bask

    Would the tank being too hot or too much light keep her from coming out? I know that’s unlikely but I just turned her heat light off and left the uvb light on which makes it look dark and she came right out before you could barely see her head

    African Sideneck won’t bask

    It’s the top of her dome that she hides in its big enough for her it doesn’t move. The water temp is in the mid 70’s like I read it was supposed to be I have turtle sticks but they are too small to hand feed and she hides from me
