currently i odnt know what the temp or humidity is, i swapped the only gauges i had to my tank with my new juvenile bearded dragon. my room is 70 degrees and the light on the ball is fairly hot. I incorrectly described the fluid as white, it was actually very clear. The popping is something i usually hear when i take him out. i havent all day, figured i keep him under the heat. another thing to consider is hes gotte nout of his old tank about 5 times, and i had just found him last night before the feeding. i live in Ma and it is pretty cold right now, outside of the room, i nthe basement it may be 50 degrees. Ive since gotten a more secure tank, so he wont be getting out on his own anytime soon. I feed him in his tank, whcih i know isnt a good idea, but he wont eat outside of it. i have the wood shavings as substrate, which i know could casue a respitory illness if brought in with the mouse. I wonder if it may have just been stress. i was trying to feed him the second mouse when he flipped over, and he didnt sem interested in it after that. but id figure id try for another 10-15 mins.
