hi guys
i bought a baby yemen a few days ago, when we went to pick her up the guy had a few in a large viv and the one we were buying was in a food tub on its own and i did give it a little check over and at the time its eyes were closed. he told me he had only just put them in that viv and they were still getting used to the lights hence its eyes being closed. anyway its been 2 days now and it hasnt eaten anything and still the eyes are closed. i mist the viv 3 times a day, there is a mesh top on the viv and i put ice cubes there over the day so that there is water dripping into the enclosure (havnt seen it drink either) there are a lot of vines and climbing material in there along with a lot of fake vegetation. the temperature is around 90f in the basking area and lower in the cooler end of the viv. it has a a 10% UV bulb. is there anything im missing that could be causing him stress and to keep his eyes closed? i still have the number and address of the guy who sold it to me should i go round and question him? i hope this little one is ok.
