The ambient temps in the room are between 79-82 at all times and the hotspot in the enclosure is between 87-91 at all times. He is in a 32qt Sterilite tub (he only weighs like 300g despite being fed two large mice weekly) and I mist the enclosure 1-3 times daily. There is a little digital thermo/hygro probe in there so I can monitor. I admit, the last two feedings I haven't warmed the rodent, mostly because I find myself running out the door as I need to feed him . Could this be the problem with not being able to grab his food? He's never had trouble in the past. It baffles me that he would be dehydrated as he's never missed a meal in 1.5 years and gets fresh water and misting daily. Humidity is a bit rough for me to maintain and it goes from 35%-70% depending on the relative humidity and mistings. I've had trouble keeping it steady.
My biggest concern is that I've housed him in the same room as a 3 month old Colombian red tail boa and only recently learned about IBD. I had no idea this even existed before I got my boa and honestly, because of the worrywory I am, I wouldn't have purchased a boa if I knew it could carry such a devastating disease. They'be been near each other for almost 3 months and only recently has my bp started having any issues. He still pounds down food but is missing it and feels a bit skinnier than I remember... Also, this morning he was tapping the side of his tank, striking at me as I walked by. Guess that means he isn't blind :/
