Looking for some advice regarding hydration. I have a 1 year old male panther who lives is a 24x24x48 screen enclosure with 2 sides covered to help keep humidity in. He has a few large natural plants along with a bunch of vines at all levels. Basking temp is thermostat controlled to stay at 90 and it decreases down to around 73 at the floor. I use a T5-H0 5.0 UVB bulb. Misting sessions are via my mist king unit and set to go off every 2.5 hours 5 times a day for 1.5 minutes each session. there is also a dripper going 24/7. All water is set up to run onto the plant leaves and drip their way down to the lower level. I indirectly shower him once a week for 20 minutes.
My issue is, despite all of the watering, he is dehydrated. He only goes to the bathroom once a week and his urate has been quite orange and hard. I even tried increasing his hornworm feelings hoping that would help some. I am not sure what else I can do to remedy this and am worried that he will develop kidney issues.
