hello,
As I was misting the cage to my jungle carpet python cage i noticed her surrounding of her eyes were very dry and eyes were pushed in a bit .. took me a while to click in but then I realized she was completly dehydrated .. put a good four bowls scattered throughout her tank but never got her to dring out of the bowl ..
I got her to drink for over 3 minutes from the sprayer.. My question is this.. Do Jungles mainly only drink from the misting and humidity? I am pretty sure they drink out of water bowls as well. Will her eyes come back to nomal .. if so - how quickly. i also bathed her in a tib of water ofr a half hour .. anything else I should do .. first time one of my snakes is dehydrated..
Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks everyone.
