Hi guys,
I have noticed some behavior with my new addition, a small (18 in) Cali King:
1. A few days ago, I noticed her opening the mouth several times, but just for a while. The whole weekend I monitored her and she didn't do it anymore, but yesterday she shown this again. I know that this can be related to a RI, but no visible bubbles or mucus when she opens the mouth.
2. She sleeps
outside the 3 hides that are in the enclosure, always near the warmest zone of the basking area. Do your kings have the same behavior during winter?
She made a perfect shed around 4 days ago, but she hasn't eat the offered pinkies. She seems interested, but I can't get her to eat. She is super active when she is awake, and although she looks a little skinny, no backbones are visible. When I got her at petco, there were crickets, so I assume that has been her diet. Any ideas to turn her to meat? I did the brain pierce thing already.
Average temperatures in the tank are 80.6 'f, and warmer in the basking area. She is in the old tank of my Sinaloan milk (10 gallons), so thermometers, heating mat and lamps are well tested. Here is my setup. Currently the only change is the extra hide instead of the tree in the middle. I'll get an appointment to the vet at petco and my personal, just in case
