[Amber31190]

so i believe i posted somthing earlier about my sully after a bath not trowing up but letting all the water in her mouth out, well she did it tonight and before i got advice to turn her up a little, i did this and it seemed she stopped breathing, i opened here mouth and she bit me and was fine, tank is 40 breeder temps are usally 100-105, bathed 2-3 times a week and misted twicew a day, i know im not bathing her to much, cause when i spray here she runs to were the water is and licks, were as before she closed her eyes and raised her body. not in greatest finaces, and my local rep vet i belive is not the greatest i called her and she wont tell me nodda unless i take her for a 50.00 visit, and thats if nothing wrong.

Hello,

I would not give anymore baths if she continues to swallow water in that manner almost choking.
Are you misting her in her tank? That is not recommended because it increases the humidity in the tank too much & can contribute to mold & mildew inside of the tank.
How is her breathing this evening? Is her beard black right now?

ill check on here beard when i get home, as i left this morning she looks the same, actually she was fine last night after the inccident, and misting to be honest i mist her, for about 3 seconds, not the cage, and she licked what got around her, sorry i made it sound like i misted whole cage,

Hello,

How is she doing this afternoon? Her beard is a little dark?
Well, it is a better idea to take her out of the tank before misting her. It just keeps the tank a little drier than misting her inside of the tank, that's all.
How is her appetite?
What type of lighting do you use right now, are you using any UVB lighting currently? If so, what type & brand is it, a fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?
What are the temperatures in the tank, & what type of thermometer do you use to measure the temperatures with?
