hithanks for replying. i have a thermostat on his cool end and it registers between 87-92. the other end is where i have his heating pad. it rests under the aquarium and i put the basket upside down over it. to the touch the glass is warm. i used to put a little bedding over it so he wouldnt get burned. but every time i do he sweeps it to one corner lol.
i try to make sure that his cage stays "humid". usually after i spray the tank you can actually feel the heat from the cage so i figured that was good. his hissing has been goin on for about 3 months. i do wanna say though that this hissing is not constant and he doesnt do it more than once. wat i mean is he doesnt his all day long. he will hiss then nothing will happen for a few days. then i'll hear it again one time. i thought it was his way of farting or something or just letting air outhe is very active when he is not shedding and doesn't have any foam around his mouth.
i take him out regularly when he isnt shedding and he gets about fifteen or twenty minutes of exercise when he is out. i read that can help break up mucus if he had an RI.
he isnt mean and he has never snapped at me. he doesnt have any signs where he opens his mouth to breathe. i've seen him yawn twice since i've had himhe drinks his water at night and eats fine.
i just fed him two mice for the first time a week ago and he went right into a shed after that. hope this info helps a little more
