Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
X-Large Zoo Med Repti Breeze Screen Cage
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
5.0 ReptiGlo Linear UVB Light, normal 60W household bulb. His lights go on at 10AM and go off at 10PM set by a timer
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
Basking is 85F, middle to bottom of cage is middle to low 70's. Over night temperature doesn't drop below 60F. I use a digital thermometer to check heat.
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?
Humidity is about 70% and I do this by misting and I keep track of it by a small humidity gauge that goes inside and sticks to the mesh
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
I only use fake
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or
high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
In the lounge away from the lounge door. Does have a radiator behind but its set on very low so barley becomes hot
Location - Where are you geographically located?
UK
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
This may be nothing but as Sebastian has been getting his colors, he seems to have a little black on his nose and very faint on his lips. First thing I thought was mouth rot. He doesn't have any goop in his mouth, no overbite or swelling and is eating and drinking fine. Anyway attached some pics, sorry about the first pic, its very blurry and makes the coloration darker than it actually is lol so the last 2 pics, I took him out to take another 2. Also no bug has been biting as he tub feeds and hasn't fallen.
