    I think that's fine. Well, we can always double check the vet's recommendation on that. Warren may want to voice his opinion on it as well. It certainly is a conservative and workable increase in my view.

    Re: Corallus Caninus FORTAZ , PANACUR , REPTOBOOST treatment.

    Yeah, I read a lot about temperature and I came to the conclusion that around 93F is about right for the hot spot since if he gets too warm he can just move to a colder spot up to around 73-75 f which is my coldest right now his body temperature is about 83F I'm thinking about changing the red bulb to a black bulb since I notice he's more active at night with a black light rather than the red one he has now. I'll wait to see what Warren has to say about this hoping its alright.

    Where is he currently basking. So if you use an heat gun, what is his body temperature? I think this is how you will gauge an increase in temps. Thermal stress on caninus is a killer. Heat stress can be seen through loose coils and lethargy. Increased temps will also elevate dehydration, so your snake should be in a well hydrated state. If the animal is basking in an area other than the hottest zone, I would leave it as is. The more environmental variables you change, the more stress you put on the animal, the less likelihood it is to survive. Wild caught emeralds are hard to acclimate, hard to pull around when they get sick, and succumb to stress easily. I would tread very carefully. (this is speaking through personally experience with many emeralds over the years. This is why I only recommend cb and established babies/juveniles to people unfamiliar with them.

    Your red bulb is fine. Do not change it.

    I guess you're right, I started noticing the coils aren't tight at all very sloppy and started after I took him to the vet and got his first shot. I can see what you're saying about bumPing the temperature and dehydrating I guess I'll go back down a few degrees. Since you're more experienced with etbs than me what should my hot spot be? I do use a heat gun and his body temp is about 83f him not being at the hottest part of cage.

    Re: Corallus Caninus FORTAZ , PANACUR , REPTOBOOST treatment.

    He's very well hydrated after reptoboost very noticeable improvements, he's more alert he finished fortaz treatment 2 days ago next week I have to give him panacur for 3 more consecutive days then the dewormer treatment is finished. He's still not interested in food hisncoils are very tight looking nice but no night movement he just switches his head front to back but stays in the same spot no "nocturnal hunting mode" that's the update that I have his temps are good humidity is good houseboundry is out of the question. He just does not want to eat. His determined not to eat and with that comes no poop no shed and lots of headaches.
