What do you mean the thermal gradient is in the uro enclosure?



Rob was asking about your bp setup - you need a thermal gradient in the bps setup. meaning different temps on the warm side and different temps on the cool side so your bp can thermoregulate.



warm side 90-95

cool side 80-85



belly heat is important, but i also think it is nice to have the belly heat supplemented with overhead heat. i would think in a cage that high you would need multiple thermometers to measure temps at the various levels (insuring temps arent too high or too low).



your bp needs at least on hide on the warm side and at least one hide on the cool side. the hides should be tight and snug and be mostly enclosed to help them feel secure.



when rob said "Also, it is important to point out not eating is not always a thing BP's do just because."

He was saying that it's not good advice to tell people that the reason their bp is not eating is because it's perfectly normal. there are other reasons they may not eat and if not addressed can lead to big problems. (correct me if I'm wrong Rob).



Young BPs should be feed an appropriately sized meal every 5-7 days. Adults 7-10 days. I've never seen anything different.
