No offense taken...I'm not implying that my Burm really gives a hoot if I'm there or not. Truth be told, he'd probably rather I'd leave forever and never mess with him again.
I'm just thinking of it from a health standpoint. I don't want his skin to be irritated or ammonia to build up. He 'urinated' today and soaked 1/2 his cage, little to no urates. I use sections of newspaper as substrate, about 6 sections at a time. He did the same thing Thursday, but he just had a large meal on Sunday.
I'm heating from above. I'm still waiting for my new enclosures to be delivered and they will have RHP's.
This snake seems to be unique in the amount of water he passes, still haven't got to the vet to check that out yet (due in Dec). I haven't gone out of town for more than a few days since I've had this guy and I was curious as to how others dealt with their big ones. We usually vacation for a week in the winter and 2weeks in the summer. In the summer I have so many lizards that are awake that I have to have a feeder come in every other day. They feed the cats, too, and we board the wacko dog.
