Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and recently purchased a six month old BP, normal/wild type, Flynn. He just took his second mouse, a fuzzy, today. I have several questions about his care. Right now he's living in a 10 gal, complete with a large water bowl, a plastic plant, and a dark hide. I've been using a coconut mulch bedding, maybe that's the wrong word for it? I bought it at my nearby Petsmart. I will of course be moving Flynn to a 20 gallon soon, and eventually a 40-55 gallon depending on his size. Right now, the hot side of his enclosure is about 92 degrees fahrenheit, and the cool side is about 82. I mist daily, have a humidifier, and keep the water bowl full. Using the fogger I keep the humidity at fifty-five percent, but I was wondering if that might be too high? I feed Flynn once a week, either two pinky mice or one fuzzy. (More the fuzzies now that he takes them). He's been to the vet and I'm treating him with ivermectin for mites. I handle him every few days, but not after he eats. Sometimes I take him to the pet store with me but for the most part he is either inside or in the yard under supervision. I was just wondering if there is anything I need to change? Should I raise the heat or lower the humidity? Is there any sort of supplement/calcium I need to give him? I use one for my leopard geckos and American toad. If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me.
Thanks!
