Nubby must love his water bowl (aka his pool)We finally got it set up. A tank from dubia with a cabinet stand, a spacer and another tank from dubia stacked to make a 7foot set up that my 5'2 butt can barely reach.and off to the left is a 60 gallon tank we have for our babies, Dreki and Nubby with a divider.
Also, here is a photo of Nubby thinking the water bowl is a pool that he can drink from.
It was wild to see. All afternoon, it seemed like his eyes were..sunken in.? And he kept laying down and closing them, like he was trying to go to sleep and we were starting to get worried. He seemed real lethargic out of nowhere. Just on a whim, I decided to toss him into the bath and before I could even set him in the water, he had his head down and was drinking air.Nubby must love his water bowl (aka his pool)
So glad to hear the water activated himIt was wild to see. All afternoon, it seemed like his eyes were..sunken in.? And he kept laying down and closing them, like he was trying to go to sleep and we were starting to get worried. He seemed real lethargic out of nowhere. Just on a whim, I decided to toss him into the bath and before I could even set him in the water, he had his head down and was drinking air.he drank a *ton* of water and even pooped and seemed *so* much better after. His eyes were actually open and he seemed more active so we decided to put the water bowl back in his tank. And he was trying to drink it but wouldn't lower his head down enough, it was so silly. That's when he got in it and splashed around.
He doesn't, just his snout. Toothless, our 10 month old, on the other hand, will swim and dunk his head for a split second to splash in the water. Like, he'll swim, splash, dunk his head to splash some more then whip his tail to splash even more. He loves it, it's wild.So glad to hear the water activated him. P.s Make sure that when he is in his bath he doesn't fully submerge his head.
It was crazy, I would have never guessed.Your setup looks very nice.
You have to be careful with babies they dehydrate a lot faster than adults. It's easy to miss also. I'm glad you caught it. How are the babies doing? You haven't posted much about them.
Yeah, I always figured it was just a territorial thing but the way they hide behind each other and lick each other and stuff, they definitely like each other.They are very territorial so she probably is a little upset.
I remember a youtube video (i think it was webereptiles) he had a true pair of twins to hatch (two fully formed babies from one egg) and i kindda remember him saying those two were inseparable. My two rescues cuddle as close as they can get to each other every night. (They were never housed together and have only known each other since late October) i absolutely think they can bond with each other. (I wouldn't house mine together, Sweet Pea is EXTREMELY protective of her home) but out on the couch they seek each other out.
Yeah, she did it again today. She was on the bed and couldn't even really see them. Next thing we know, she did a little tail flick then took off to the edge of the bed where she can see them, almost fell off the bed and while half hanging on, she stomped her foot and headbobbed. It was kinda silly but I feel bad.It was nova i was referring to as being territorial. She sees the new babies in HER home .
She holds a damn grudge. She's the master of that over the shoulder stink eye and that's *all* she's been doing.Yeah i understand I've had to rotate mine on occasion too, it takes a little while for them to let it go. They really do not like change lol.
