Well two weeks ago i caught fredo sleeping during the day and so i kept a close eye on him and he didn't do it anymore. Then a few days ago he opened his mouth and i heard a popping sounds which i knew was not good, and then yesterday he was not eating that well and slept a little in the afternoon. So.. I headed to the herp vet at 4 today. He took a Qtip and got some saliva from his mouth and looked at it through the microscope. he said he found red and white blood sells in it meaning mouth rot. But a pretty mild case of it. He gave me... Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.3% and said to use it twice a day. He said he couldn't find anything about my husbandry that would cause it but said he would raise the basking to 95!!? Right now it is between 82-86. Just depends on what time of the day because of the misting.. I said ok but in my head i was thinking no way does it need to be 95.
So... would you guys raise it that high for him (ambilobe panther)? I think not but maybe i'm wrong.
