His sleep may not seem affected, but it is, and it will cause problems. Turn the uv light off at night. :)

In Reply to: Re: Light is flourescent, special for ultra-voilet for reptiles. Sleep doesn't seem th be affected. Will keep an eye on discolored skin. Thanks again. Will keep in touch. posted by filthy on July 28, 1999 at 21:25:25:

: : This lizard owes Joan and Skinny, even though he is unhappy about no more egg.

: : He becomes more healthy every day - whaddahell are we to do when he gets about 5' long? He's just about taken over the place, now.

: : Have mounted a proper lamp in the top of my closet and he sleeps under it.

: : The people who had him before - we just found this out - had a Hot Rock in his tank. The skin on his belly shows a brownish discoloration. I thought at first that it was merely un-shed skin, but after several, weekly soakings it shows no sign of coming loose.

: : Question: Was this a burn from the Hot Rock? It doesn't look anything like scar tissue. Could it be natural coloration? The area extends from the vent to about half way up the belly.

: : Anyhow, many thanks. I think he'll let us live here a while longer. Will keep in touch.

Re: This is the only time he gets it. The rest of the time is spent wandering around the house, yes and often hiding in dark corners. Gotta build a cage. filthy 7/28/99 (2)

His sleep may not *seem* affected, but it is, and it will cause problems. Turn the uv light off at night. :)
