    bottle said to.. spray evenly over the entire body and to spray his cage.. i left it on him since it said nothing about wiping it off.. i fed him 3 days ago.. found white chalky stuff in his cage this morning.. i no thats norm but i ges that could be part of the reason for the bloating? it took him about a week to pass his last mouse so unless they hold it near the vent for 4 days thats not the prey item... been 11 hours hes still bloated under his hide is 90 degrees im letting it be that high to help move w/e it is out... other side of of the cage is 80 middle 85

    alright i made another 20 bucks tonight just in tips.. slow night lol but its enough to cover the vet bill if he needs it.. sad the bill is more then what he cost.. but i have a rule love n take care of the pet until you cant anymore. lol course 20-30 years is a long time to be taken care of something..

    came home today and i find him back in his cage... see i broke it awhile ago and finally got around to cocking it today so he had to stay out.. was nice n warm under his hide.. 90 imo to high for his hide i like to keep it 85 86 max rest of the cage is w/e middle will be 80 and about 90 94 at the other side.. but anyways i come home and he isnt as bloated and can flex the muscles back near his vent.. but he makes a gurgling noise inside.. i read that is norm if he is digesting food so im not worried about it... plus he seems to be alot more active now and i got him for 90 from petco i own a bts no probs at all and i dont even stress about his cage ... he was a nice amount 200 lol

    but yeah no mites less bloating more active gessing hes going to be fine gonna give him another bath tonight probs just to make sure

    even took him out on the floor ... and my skink... only the skink pooped lol
    was nasty he lifts his back legs like straight in the air then crawls its funny but gross

    Well 90 isnt the going price for normals, can get them all day 15-40 from breeders.

    On a side note if hes making gurgle noise from his mouth thats NOT normal. That is a sign of a respiratory infection which means VET TIME.

    nah its inside him lol cage to hot for a r/i cage perfect imo 1 side 90 mid 85 other side 80 sometimes 78 thats near his bowl.. currently on paper towls till this passes with the mites and his bloating then he gets his dirt n wood back lol he keep siting his head on his rock as i walk by... seems sad he cant dig anymore or wrap himself under something n just chill for hours lol

    but yeah he is very active atm wants out but ima leave him in there till the morning when i get up

    probs gonna feed him in a day or 2 hes eating every 5 to 6 days 1 adult mouse
