Thank you for the replies. The monitor survived the trip to the vet and seems to be slowly improving. I am a little concerned because I have not been able to get him to eat. Could this be caused by the medication? I was told he is about 4 months old. He has a basking spot of 130 which he has not gone to since he came back from the vet and the ambient temp is at 80. The humidity ranges from about 75% at one side of the cage to around 40% at the other. The substrate is currently Cypress mulch although I have been looking at switching to soil from what I have been reading. I appreciate any info.
