Worried about Cass :(

[Bradyloach]

Cas hasent come out all day, usually he's out by now.... But he's been in his burrow. He usually is basking at 5 am. But it's 1220 pm and hes still in there... Maybe he's sick? I tried luring him out but nothing :(

[infernalis]

Does he normally respond to your voice, or the cage door opening?

Can you see his tail or any part you can touch with a finger?

[Bradyloach]

No, I can't i can't see him at all, maybe his burrow collapsed, I dot know, should I dig him out? He might be trapped

[Bradyloach]

Respond ASAP please super worried

[Bradyloach]

Do I dig him out? Help please

[jarich]

It shouldnt be a problem man. Sometimes mine doesnt come out until the afternoon too. Sometimes I dont wake up until noon on the weekends ;)

[Bradyloach]

But Cass has never ever done this, and I watered his burrow yesterday to keep it moist I'm super worried

[Bradyloach]

Wayne please help! If it collapsed could he dig himself out? The top looks good but I mean the inside part of his burrow could have collapsed

[jarich]

Yes, he should be able to dig himself out if it collapsed. That soil is not compacted or hard, so he would just dig himself up and out. You could just shine a light down into his burrow if youre really worried. I really dont think you should be too worried though

[Bradyloach]

I shined a light down, he dug himself a little tunnel were he sleeps I can't see that far

When Jojo was little he did the same thing and did not come out of this burrow for a whole day, scared the crap out of me but when i looked down into it he was just sleeping, guess sav's are like us and just dont want to get out of bed sometimes lol.

[Bradyloach]

He's in a huge shed right now could that be a reason ?

[Jenn_06]

might be just the shed, just check on him later, he will come one when he wants to

[jarich]

Could be the shed. He may just want the higher humidity that the burrow provides. Dont worry man, youre doing a good job keeping him in the right habitat!

[BarelyBreathing]

If he's in shed, he's going to choose to stay where the humidity is greater (aka, his burrows). I wouldn't worry. He'll be able to dig out if his burrow collapses.

No worries man, yesterday my guy didn't come out until 5pm.

[Bradyloach]

I just worry about the little fella

[Bradyloach]

He's still in there :/ hasent even eaten today

[BarelyBreathing]

Don't stress. Animals are allowed to have off days.

He's still in there :/ hasent even eaten today


I wish everyone cared this much.. Really I do.

He's just chilling out.

[Bradyloach]

He's just my little buddy! I read about him all day! Just hope the little fella isn't sick

[infernalis]

you want some more stuff to read over?

The autopsy is kinda gross, but informative. Let's you know where everything is in there.

[Bradyloach]

Sure I always like it read new things

[Bradyloach]

He came out!! He looks terrible, pics coming now

[Bradyloach]

Just cause of his shed

[GarterPython]

I love how caring for your animal. To some it might be annoying but I think it is great. I am exactly the same with my Crested Gecko. He does anything that seems out of order I kinda freak out! Image if/when I get my snake! I am going to be like a mom that just lost her child.

[Gungirl]

It is good to care about your pet but you need to remember that they are animals and they don't follow the written rules we may like them to.

[Bradyloach]

What do you think

[Bradyloach]

This is his first major back shed

[BarelyBreathing]

He looks like he's shedding. Shedding is a very good thing. If you're worried, bump the humidity up a bit.

[Bradyloach]

Humitdy is like 87 in his burrow! It's decent I'm not worried anymore

[BarelyBreathing]

That's great!

[millertime89]

he looks like he was having fun, apart from the shed that is, all dirty and muddy.

[cute_snakeyface]

Ooo...lizard face! :D

[infernalis]

What do you think

He looks great.

A dirty sav is a happy sav.

Yes, I do honestly believe Cass was hanging out in the burrow to help the shed loosen.
