Hi,
I recently acquired (what I think is about a 2 year old, he is 16") dragon from an auction in which he was living in an awful environment. He was in an uncleaned small cricket keeper that was covered in poop both inside and on the top. I was planning to keep him as a pet but it has been so hot and humid here that I cannot maintain ideal humidity conditions for him. I live in an apartment building but because of where it is located (I'm on the top floor) it's too humid and if I run a dehumidifier it will get too hot where he is located, and if I run my portable AC unit it will draw humidity in from the outside and from the rest of the building. I can't run both at the same time either because it will blow a fuse (already blew two). I've sealed off my window and if I keep my door closed I can get the humidity down to 45% but at night when the heat lights go off it goes up to 55%. I'm using an Eva-Dry 330 reusable dehumidifier in his tank as well but I'm not sure if it's really doing anything at all. I can keep the AC running but it's starting to give off a bad smell (mold I'm thinking) and it's so loud I can't/don't want to sleep in the room. The weather will cool in a few weeks so the humidity situation will be under control by then (I hope) but I am worried about next summer since my lease expires August 2016.
This whole situation has had me really frustrated and stressed out. I am doing everything I can to make sure he is happy and healthy but it's taking a toll on my life and my health as a result. I want him to survive and be healthy especially after the conditions he was in before I'm just frustrated that I'm running into these issues and nothing that I'm doing seems to even be working. I haven't slept for more than 3 hours a night because I am constantly getting up to check on him.
I am looking to re-home my dragon to someone within or around the area of London, Ontario, or if someone knows where I can find a nice home for him in the area please let me know. I want to him safe and happy as soon as possible.
