Concerns regarding his breathing

[Lyrebird.Rainwing]

Just that, to cover part of the enclosure to keep the heat in.

He's been doing a bit better, he's not sneezing anymore but his breathing is still all wonky. I'm checking on him every 30 minutes to make sure he's okay. Would letting him go outside and get fresh air help? Is there anything else I can do?

Nothing that I can think of. Best to not take him out, anything like that might cause accelerated breathing so it's best to stay in his tank. Wait for Tracie to possibly offer some ideas, she comes on in the night .

Okay, thanks, where should I put the towel on his enclosure though?

Just cover a portion of it to add insulation. Can you post a pic of it ?

I know of snake owners using diluted f10 in a nebulizer for RIs. Is that something that may be appropriate for a dragon as well? I know you can get f10 and a neb on Amazon.

Even when he has a possible RI, Swordtail feels the need to give me the death glare

When should they be on?

Well, he pooed

So yeah, covering that so the heat doesn't escape but you do that at night with a CHE ceramic heat emitter. Did you say you have one ?

Yeah, I believe so

He hasn't black bearded at all which I think is good.
Although, he's never black bearded

 

[AHBD]

Yeah, I believe so

O.K you only want to use a CHE at night for heat, not your bright normal heat bulb. That would keep him from sleeping.

Yeah, the one I use at night produces no light, just heat
