I read through all of the comments on the post because I thought the same thing. They said they gave him pain meds for the procedure and I would think they would have sent some home with the owner as well. They also said that it would probably take 6 months to a year to fully heal.

Ugh I always forget to do that. Is there a way to edit my original post?

Hey Everyone! So yesterday I cleaned out Squirt's enclosure and decided to try a new mix of substrate. Before I was using EcoEarth with whole pieces of sphagnum moss. This was holding humidity at about 80% with my humidifier at a low level and an enclosed tank. This time around I decided to...

Hey guys! Squirt is my first reptile so I'm not entirely sure what a normal shed looks like. Can anyone tell what the white spots on his front legs (top) may be?

Welcome! Do you have any pictures???

For the last few days Squirt has been defecating a smaller amount than usual. I typically will soak once a day for twenty to thirty minutes. Since this started I bumped it up to twenty minutes three times daily. He has still been eating okay and acting okay, though. FINALLY he had a normal...

I just put the acurite in and humidity is measuring at 85% :D

It's hard to see because it's partially covered by food and sphagnum moss but he does have a small slate under his basking light. He really enjoys laying in the squishy moss so I like him to have a choice :)

Once I get a digital one do you recommend I keep it near his basking spot, or where else?

My boyfriend is working on a better closed chamber for Squirt, but for now I'm trying to make the aquarium work for us. There are still small holes where humidity and warm air can escape, but I'm hoping the Reptifogger will help compensate for that. I only have the little wall mount hygrometer...
