Specific questions:

  • What's the temp on the cold side and the hot side?
  • What's the size of the tub?
  • What's the animal given for security options? (Hides? How many? Plant cover? Which substrate? Tub sides blacked out?)


So pics of the animal and also the setup will help us possibly root out issues on your end, which is all we can really do. Seems to be some issues on breeder side as well, based on the information you've given, but nothing to be done about that. All we can focus on right now is trying to rectify what might be causing the animal to have these reactions.

Going into the vet and getting a checkup and fecal screen no matter what is also advisable.
Ok so here is my setup right now. It is a 28qt sterilite tub. I was given a zoomed heating pad and the one thermometer/hygrometer for a rub setup and told it was all I needed. The heating pad was too small I think, the temps were too low. So I started using a regular heating pad (temporarily and under strict supervision) and the temp was perfect. I'm going out today and can get whatever else he needs, which I understand is a new heating source, 2 more thermometers, a thermostat, plant cover, another hide and moisture retaining substrate. Any recommendations on specific products (economical is appreciated, but not necessary)?
