RI Green phase

Shmoges · 05-30-11, 08:35 PM

I was holding our male green phase hoggy and noticed my finger would feel wet when he would slither his face on it then I noticed slime sticking to my finger and his mouth when I would touch him, sigh....... I have him at 95 degrees low humidity and have started giving him metronidizol and enroflaxin that I had left over from a Kenyan sand boa RI. I am sure its over kill to do both, hopefully not dangerous.

Not sure if it's dangerous but its great to see someone acting quickly when their animals get ill

Update, Our female is now twice the size of the male who seems to be losing weight and not eating for the last few weeks. He doesn't seem to be wheezing or popping from an RI but I think his tongue forks have been stuck together since we got him and he kinda will leave small wet streaks on my hand when he rubs his face on it, its very light but i can feel it sometimes.

he is in the right rack at the bottom temp is set to 95 with belly heat

what's the humidity at in that particular viv?

working on that I only have a little dial humidity guage so not that acurate. I should get a little digital one if they are available. my incubator has a nice built in digital gauge but i don't want to carry a big lid around.

digital ones are all over the place, you can probably get some decent ones at the local pet shop, or some nice ones for cheap on amazon.

Analog says %25 ambient in the room with the rosys and kenyans and hognose.
