I don't have a thermostat for the UTH (which is still unplugged) but I plan on turning it on and getting a temperature reading from it later.
It didn't look like shed to me either, hence the vet visit... but the guy seems really trusted by the community and even a few of his assistants are reptile owners themselves. So I'm just going to keep his tank clean with the moist hide and hope the shed is healthy.
Can the moist hide cause scale rot if he sits in it too long? My geckos are usually very active and never sit in their moist hide for very long but my snake of course will. I'm just wondering since Google can give me mixed answers at times.
