>>yeah same. my female is eating more now too. I've noticed that they'll sneeze every now and them. A lot more when I put the powders on the feeders. Are my temps too low for the humidity, or is it just the calcium/minerls dust?"

Probably just dust. They'll also huff a bit. Your temps are fine since they really don't require a high basking spot.


" Also, has yours ever sat there and wiggled its tail at you? Is this like a defense mechanism to get you attention on the tail and not the body?"

My ameiva hasn't done it, but my tegus have. And yes, it is a defense mechanism.
