hi everyone, my name is Jessica and I'm from Airdrie, Canada. Our family just bought a juvenile RF. We are unsure of gender but thinking he's a male. He's been in his new tank since Sunday evening. We've used coco husk as a substrate and have a warm end (85-90 degree) and a cooler end (70-80 degree). It's very dry here so I've been misting the enclosure twice a day to keep the humidity up. I've also out in some nice living moss to hold the humidity. So here are my questions: after getting him home I relaised he had a few little white spots on his shell. Only on the top and not underneath him. After researching it and talking to a reptile specialist we figured it could be a little big of fungus. I gave him a Luke warm "bath" and brushed off the white stuff with a soft/new toothbrush. I then applied a very this layer of athletes foot cream. The spots went away and haven't been back. Now here's the thing, he's not really active. We figure he's about 5 months as he's o my 3-4 inches long. He's eating. He ate a bunch the first two days and lots today. A mix of green leafy veg, cucumber and I gave him some strawberry. But as soon as he's done he goes I to his hidey hole and stays there until I remove him either to soak or eat again. Is this normal? He's only been here for 72 hours. Is he just adjusting? I noticed the first couple days he did lots of head bobbing, making me think he's stressed. Today he hasn't been doing it, but when I soaked him he made a few clicking noises at me. He ate out of my hand too, which was adorable. Thoughts? I will upload a pic of his tank.
