Hello!! Today I noticed my panther gaping towards his mist king when it went off. Is this a way that they absorb fluids? Or could he be angry at it? Lol I just read horror stories on gaping and wanted to know if anyone else has seen this or if it’s a cause for concern.
Also, my humidity is dropping into the 30% during mid day, is it ok to mist mid day to bring that percentage back up? It was 25% up by his basking point and 38% down towards his canopy. But he spends most of his day up top. I just don’t want to put him at risk for an URI. I currently mist 3 mins right around lights on, and 3 mins 30 seconds about an hour before lights out. I did an over ride and just misted him for another 2 mins. But I figured I should check if that’s ok before I continue that pattern. He ran right to drinking.. so I am sure he wanted it. Just figured id double check. Thanks!
Edit: I just noticed him going to the bathroom. His urate is rather orange. More orange than I would like. But after it came out there was lots of clear fluid to follow. I was under the impression orange urate meant dehydration, but the clear fluid following the urate meant they were hydrated? Am I incorrect on this? And if not what does this mean?
