Hi Guys,
A quick update on Camo!!!!
I was thinking the other day how much of a shame it is that he was in my rack and not on display, that and the fact I will need his rub when I get my retic this weekend and my new rack isnt due to arrive for a good week or so, so I set about converting one of my spare exo terras.
bit of expanding foam
and set about making the background
after this I covered the sides in black silicone and covered with dry coco husk
Then added the canopy and the heat lamp ( only had a red bulb but will get a ceramic at the weekend hooked up to a ceramic )
BUT decided I was too worried about using this tank in the end, partly because I wasnt happy with the overall look and partly because I was worried about leaching chemicals;
Fortunately I had ANOTHER exo terra unopened in the garage :D
SO i b******dised the old background so that it slotted around the original background and covered part of the sides like so;
Then all that was left was to introduce Camo to his new home! :D
As you can see he DIDNT want to go in - the whole process took approximately an hour!!
ANNNNNNNNNNNND back out again

Fez,
In your opinion would you say he's going into shed here?
He has been looking alot, paler than usual. Could it be the start of him changing?
I know he is fine and its not a health issue, eating, weeing, drinking and feeding as should and temps are spot on 31c under basking spot.... |

Hard to tell in the pics matey, they're so hard to spot when they go into a shed cycle. The only way I can normally tell with mine is when he stops hanging his head down in the hunting position at night for a few days
Normally when I go check on the gang when I'm back from work, meissa is hanging down in the classic hunting pose. If he's still perched up and stays there I know he's getting ready to shed. That and the slight appearance that his skin looks "dirty" if that makes sense? Kinda like he needs a wash haha |
