WARNING! IMAGE HEAVY!
It's been 7 months since I got Sherbert so we will be ordering his new reptisun 10.0 T5 florescent lights today, as I know that they need to be switched out every 6 months. I don't know if this is true for unfiltered UVB light, as I've heard somewhere that unfiltered UVB light (without a screen), can be used for a longer time. However, yesterday I was fretting over whether or not he has an underbite, as it's hard to tell for me. Do you guys think he has an underbite? I really am concerned and have done research and looked up images. If he does have an unberbite, then I want to catch it if he has MBD as fast as possible before anything worse comes up.
Setup:
50 Gallon Tank
Heat lamp: bright white 70 watt flood light (heats up surface 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit)
UVB: Reptisun 10.0 T5 florescent tube
Both lights 10 inches away from basking spot, and are left on from 7 am through 9 pm.
Cool side 80-85 degrees and hot side 85-90
Substrate: non-adhesive shelf liner
Wooden box with blanket for hide, ramp and log for climbing, a bowl for roaches, and 3 bricks for basking.
Diet: Collard Greens and Dandelion greens for salad in the morning, two meals of dusted roaches in calcium with Vit.D3 or vitamin powder later at 3 pm and 6 pm. He poops regularly and is active and alert. However, I have noticed him in his hide everytime I come back from school, but he isn't sleeping and sometimes, (if he has enough visual,) comes out of his hide and eats the roaches in his bowl right away with energy. I sometimes have to get him out myself, which I find concerning as well. I've had theories that maybe it's because I wake him up too early at 7 am, since he just started doing this. I don't think it's brumation since he's not sleeping in his hide. When I take him out though, he always runs around and jumps on me and the pillows.
He is 8 months now and is 18 inches long, he originally was 12 inches and 2 months old so he grew 6 inches.
Anyways, here are pictures that I took today. I took a lot with different angles and perspectives.
