Uro not pooping, please help

Sunfox Feb 16, 2004 11:35 AM

I checked all over my uro's tank (including in the sand and under his basking spot) and found no poop at all. He's still eating a bit and I've felt his belly for any hard spots (I haven't found any). It's been over two weeks now and I'm getting very concerned. Should I try hot soaks? If so, how many times and for how long? What can I do?
Thanks guys

Sorry to hear that The Hot soaks might help .... works TO well on my Saharan Monitor...intant success. I havn't had the same response from any Uros ...but it doesn't seem to bother them either. I shoot for 115deg. temp and only a few minutes (water starts to cool). A basking lamp over the water may allow for a longer bath.
Good Luck with Ra!
ps..Electric & water, be careful
