he has pine bedding, metal water bowl, logs for cover , Uvb lamp. I put tape around the outside so he might be more comfortable and magazine pages outside on his back wall. I didn't know not to soak bedding. Today, I gave him a bath. I put newspaper over the bedding to see if the pine bedding is causing the stuff. If so, I'm going to get him a new substrate. poor little guy was abandon by a former roommate. I would like a different setting for him.
