Hey guys. Blue has been with me for about 3 weeks and he seems happy as can be.
He's eating 40-45 crickets a day now and veggies on occasion.
He loves to bask underneath his basking lamp (105 degrees).
I've noticed that 1. he opens his mouth often and 2. that the humidity has risen from 45 to 55. I do wet his veggies but DO NOT mist his enclosure.
I do wash his hammock daily (he poos on it) and shake it dry before putting it back.
I read that they do this to regulate body heat, but it can also mean a respiratory infection. If the humidity had not risen, I wouldn't even mention it.
I noticed today that I had him out for several minutes and when I put him back on his hammock he did the open mouth thing not long after. Hard to believe he was expending heat when he didn't seem that hot.
He's eating well, super active and I hear no gurgling coming from him.
Thoughts?
PS. How do I get my humidity down?
