Hey ,
My young sulcata fredrick.. im concerned that there may be an issue..
He always seems to keep one eye shut for the first while of being awake.. rubbs at it then he'll open it.
thats one,
2nd.. he's only awake 10 - 15 minutes at a time most of the time, less he's out for a soak in which case he'll remain awake.. and eat etc.. until he's placed back in his enclosure then its lights out again.
and 3rd.. he doesnt really seem to regulate himself by moving into the basking area.. then out of it.. doesnt use his hide at all... just kind stays in the 1/2 in 1/2 out range of his basking area.. and ive read that could be a sign of an illness coming in.
If anyone could let me know what their humidty %'s are in basking area, just outside the basking area, in their hide... etc..
i dont know if it could be dehydration.. cuz i soak him.. and i mist his place down..
my humidity levels are are 23% in the basking area, 43% in the mid range areas.. and 52% in his hide.
temps range from 72 degrees -> 85 degrees in most of the enclosure.. except for the basking area which is at 95.3 degrees currently.
just concerned for the little guy, i know they sleep alot.. but it seems excessive.
he does eat though, even if we do have to wake him up to do it.
