Hi! So my rescue, Oslo pretty much has stress spots any time he’s left in his enclosure. Never when he’s outside of it, though. It doesn’t matter if I’ve taken him shopping with me, have him in the floor, on my chest, or outside. No stress spots ever. But when he’s left in his enclosure for more than a few hours he gets stress spots that are usually pretty dark. I even swapped him out of the 50 he came in to a 4x2x2 and he’s still getting the spots. He usually goes in his hide on the warm side and sticks his head out and opens his mouth a little when he’s stressed. Not sure why. That part just started happening about 2-3 weeks ago.
The only thing I can find wrong about the setup is his humidity is a little high right now (45-55). I’m not sure why but with both his old and new enclosure, when I first set them up they had high humidity & it slowly came out after about two weeks with the old one. I’m doing everything I can to get it down. But this behavior started way before the humidity went up. Regardless, here are some specs. Please ask for additional info:
4x2x2 meridian habitat by zen habitats
24in UVB tube, 10.0 T5, mounted inside enclosure next to basking bulbs.
2 90 W halogen bulbs
90-95 hot side
80 cool side
45-55 humidity.
Slate tile for flooring
Dubias, 3 once a week
Soldier fly larva, 4 every other day
Horn worms, one 2x a week
Daily veggies:
Mustard greens
Butternut squash
Yellow squash
Turnip greens
2x a week:
Carrots
Bell pepper (red)
Bok choy
Napa cabbage
1x a week:
Blue berries
Sugar snap peas
Top with calcium & bee pollen daily, D3 2x a week.
Bowel movements every other day, have never been solid & vet doesn’t seem too concerned about it considering his health.
Oslo also is recovering from MBD & is in renal failure.
