I have this young male Red Zeppelin. He throat seams to fill with air when you first get him out. After a few minutes it goes away . It is soft to the touch . He is very active and eats and drinks great. He doesn’t seem to have any respiratory issues. I feed him in a container with a paper towel so it’s not from ingested substrate. So I have no idea why this is happening. Thanks . Jason
I have a couple that get ‘pouchy’ when they’re in blue. Not sure of the exact cause, but it goes away after a shed. Does yours do it all the time when you get him out?
Yes . When he’s in his enclosure he never has it. Only when I first pick him up. He shed last week .
It’s from mild congestion. I doubt he’s sick, but I definitely would keep temps up.
Will do. Thank you.
What are the temps in his enclosure?
On the warm end 86 degrees and on the cool end 79 degrees.
Those temps are all right, about spot on although the cool side could be a few degrees cooler, say around 75°F. I’m assuming you’re measuring down in the substrate.
I was asking about temps because when they’ve got any sort of issue, it’s important to be sure that they’ve got a warm spot around 85-86°F. It’s helpful for healing.
For sure . Thanks. I appreciate it
