- Ramses
My girl Ramses has been hiding a lot lately. Mostly on the hot side and now has started digging. She’s only eating every other day. She has also been leaving her mouth cracked open, she does close it occasionally. She won’t eat today. I have offered her greens and worms. This has been a pattern the last week. She has just finished shedding as well. I gave her a bath yesterday (she hated it) since she doesn’t care to drink from a water bowl and I let her sit on the window seal for an hour or so before putting her back in the cage. She was back to normal for the most part after that. She pooped on Monday or Tuesday. One issue is that her humidity has been horrible to maintain lately due to the high humidity where I live. I’m just starting to get it down to 45% on the hot side, but the cool side is still staying at 48%/47%. I do have my air unit going with the door open to help with ventilation. Could the humidity be the issue or my loud window air unit stressing her out? But I just wanted to make sure she isn’t getting sick and was hoping someone experienced this.
Some background: She is almost 18 months old and lives in a 120gal PVC tank. Her basking temp is 95-105 degrees (I have three lamps all 75W bulbs), middle temp (under the UV light) is 81, cool side is 78. I use a Arcadia T5 14% UV-B dragon light for the UV (it sits on the mesh) and she is about 17inches from it (recommended by Arcadia company).
