Ok so today I was handling my BP and then put him back and watched him go into his hide. I have a AP cage with sliding glass doors, well I didn't shut the glass door all the way and he escaped. This is not the first time...anyways a few hours later I went down and noticed he was gone within 5 minutes I found him under my couch FREEZING COLD! So I immiedatley handeled him a little bit to warm him from my hands then placed him back into his cage. Temps 94-97ish on the warm end, and 82-85ish on the cool end. I have to humid hides and have hygrometers in the hides so I know the humidity in the hides. Humidity in hides 60-70ish (to much?) and amibent in the cage is 40-50%. Anyways since then he has been trying to get out of his cage and seems stressed because this is not normal for him....I opened the door a little bit and was listening to him breathe and he is wheezing quite a bit. No mucus that I can see yet. Should I jack the temps up?? Or go to the vet this weekend? Could he have gotten an RI in only 3 hours?? In the past few days (before he escaped) he had been pretty active at night knocking over thermometers and such. Or is this a combonation of things??![]()
