dehydrated

[elra]

2 weeks ago i noticed meg's eye was dented in, a sign of dehydration. she eats regularly so shes getting fluids. she shed yesterday and her eye is dented again! geez.. what can i do to rehydrate her?

Make sure she has CLEAN water at all times. Refresh the water very often (like every 6 hrs.) and make sure that the water is accessable. Also, You can add a humid hide...low humidity can also cause dented eyes.

wow every 6 hours? she stays in her hide a lot, maybe shes just too lazy to get a drink (kinda like me) but ill do that. the tank humidity is 80 right now. i bumped it up for her shed but i think ill keep it that way for a while.

a sign of dehydration.

Actually, that's incorrect.

I bet you're using overhead lights (or some other type of heater) for heat?

no i use a UTH. the humidity is 70 right now. she just had a shed so it was bumped up to 80. i live in san francisco so the humidity never drops below 60 in her tank. if its not dehydration then what is it?
