Thanks!!!

I have him in an exo terra terrarium 18x18x24 inch i use a 75 watt bulb during the day and mist hime twice a day. i just switched from using repti carpet to exo terra forest moss. i just did a major cleanout of his tank a couple of days ago. i will admit i didnt really clean his cage much because he was crazy and will try to get out whenever he can.

Good News

right after i posted my last message i checked on his eye and it seems that it's gone! i will keep an eye on him but he seems to be acting normally.

hmmmm..maby it was retained shed...let us know if he has it again..make sure you DO cleab his viv out regulary dont let the poos mount up and give him clean water ok...its essential..he will sleep during the day so do it then or in the morning rather than in the evening, mist him in the morning and 15 mins after you have turned his lights out...temps for crestys should not ecced 78 -80 at a push so the 75 watt may be a bit to hot to be honest...swap with a 5% u.v lighting linear tube and use a 40 wat spot in the day should it be needed to bring the temps up....thias shopuld be fine...avoid using the compact bulbs these are the little curly u.vs they are rubbish..use a long strip one...much better. hope hes ok now. x:biggrin:
