Hi Ya'll!
I am having some work done on an in-wall heater in the same room that my Cham resides in. While it should only take about 5-ish hours, it does involve opening the wall and removing/installing a new ambient water heater. I'm worried that the dust may be too much for my little guy and am wondering if it is worth it to move the entire enclosure to another room just for the day/night or if I would be ok covering him up with a large sheet and turning his basking light off for a few hours in the afternoon? (to stop any fires from the heated lamp).
I unfortunately will not be home and cannot get out of work tomorrow, but my best friend and my husband will both be there. My Cham is also in the middle of a shed right now (of course, he is...) that started about 2 days ago. Not sure why this one staking so long as he normally tosses all his old skin of in a matter of hours, but the majority of his shed did occur yesterday. He is still shedding his tail and the pads of his feet so He already looks stressed as it is and I'd hate to have to move him for a single day/night only to move him back when I may be able to get away with putting a sheet over him for a couple hours during the day. He'll still be able to hear the noise, but he would be covered from majority of the dusty flying around the air and he wouldn't be able to see all the commotion going on around him.
Thoughts on if it is ok to leave him where he is and just cover him up?
Thank you!
