Wondering how your guy is doing...any progress?
-Melissa

he is doing good , 100 % the last few weeks . It may have been just a shedding issue that was driving him nuts . ?? but he's good as new .

yours sure looks good !!

thanks!

Shes a fat-so....and suprises me everyday with her weridness.

Recently b/c of the spring weather (we r in NY) she stopped using the bathroom (which is where she was going..no joke) and waits to go outside! I love this thing!

mine has been outside around 8 hours a day for the last month . he's loving it . shedding all over . he has basking area as high as 135 deg and cooler ones also and a area that around 80 .

the UVB is as high as 38o /- in the afternoon . he goes out into that very rarely . usually he suns mid-morning when its under 200 MW of UVB . But he will bask at the high temps and UVB for a few minutes on and off during the day . I spend hour out there with him watching him come and go . just to see what he likes and what he does not . I bet i spend 30 hours a week with him .

I know how you feel. My zen is watching her eat grass, poorly. I grow her 4 different kinds of mint in planters. lol I just sit there, staring.

BTW I tried to email you back about the humidity but It sent it back the email.

My guys live in one room, and they all are in modified dog crates with a dog size water dish in each. I also have a full room hot air humidifier (great purchase). It feels like a rainforest and its approx 60%, but I also wash Petra in the tub every 3 days or so, and rub her down with baby oil during her sheds beacause I'm insane
