Hey, so isla's shell looked fine on Saturday afternoon. No dryness, peeling, discoloration. Saturday afternoon I had to set up her portable indoor enclosure and bring her in, because of hurricane Irma. There was no way she could stay outside, even in her porch enclosure. So I used the same kind of substrate and her portable lights that I use in her regular enclosure for heating (CHE) & a clamp on reptisun UVB light. I monitored the temps, and kept them as consistently close to normal as possible (which was pretty close). Last night when I moved everything back out to her regular porch enclosure, I noticed all this dryness and discoloration! I soak her on a regular basis (3-4 times per week for about 20 minutes). The only thing I can think of is that she's just super dry bc she went from the humid outdoor Florida climate to inside a house with little to no humidity for a little over 2 days? I have no idea. Could she have burned herself by sitting right under her lights, even though they were positioned at a proper distance? She's still eating like a pig and having normal bowel movements - so I don't think she's in pain. I just wanna know what in the world it is.
