Hey everyone
I know I havent been on in a long time....but with the help of everyone Corwin is now eating live crickets on her own! thanks for all your help! Now the next issue...I think she might be sneezing. When I pick her up she lets out this little squeek. And it kind of sounds like a little air coming through her nose...is it a sneeze? I noticed she has been spending a lot more time on the cooler side of her habitat too. And when I take her out her body is a little cold..but she doesnt want to be in her humidity hut or on the warm side where the under the tank heater is. Im afraid she might be sick so any input would help! thanks!

Hi, well when I first got my Fat Tails I kept them too cold and too humid. Well actually I used an under tank heater, but the air temperture was too cold. So basically I started noticeing sneezing or forceful air expultion. I immeadately got a heat light. I actually made a basking spot slightly hotter then normal (make sure colder areas still exist.) I placed a hide under the basking spot. They spent most of their time in here. Problem went away fairly quickly. I actually don't use under tank heaters since they enjoy the night heat light so much. Only problem is that it triggered breeding for me.

Oh I also dropped the humidity. Personally I rarely spray now.

The warm dryer air really worked wonders.
