    my red foot sounds like he is wheezing when he exhales.

    Its not much of a wheeze, but i can hear him exhale a slight wheeze. Is this a sign of something serious? maybe something wrong with his enclosure?

    what are your thoughts on table scraps?

    last night i was having ham. i gave him a little piece he loved it. keep in mind i dont use salt or any sauce so its basically just cooked ham. So what about other things like Tuna, or a piece of steak and what not? you guys do say that variety is key haha

    Question about my red foot and his temperature

    It seems unusual that he will spend 80% of his time in the cooler dry part of his tank. One side is 28Celcius and around 75-80% humidity, the other side is about 20celcius and probably 30-40% humidity. Every morning since i have had him (1week) i will find him in the cold dry corner of his tank...
