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.

In Reply to: His sleep may not *seem* affected, but it is, and it will cause problems. Turn the uv light off at night. :) posted by Jamie/JBug on July 28, 1999 at 21:37:49:

: : : 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.
