Re: Uro is Sick

Can you post your temps in the cage and what you usually feed him. It could be nothing is wrong. Mine have done that before. Don't seem interested in food for two or three weeks and don't come out much.

Re: Uro is Sick

You're basking area is too low. It should be over 120 deg. Try boosting it up by a higher wattage, lowering the bulb or heightening the basking rock/stump. You should see a noticeable difference in her activity level.

Re: Uro is Sick

awwww I"m sorry to hear that, I have 2 of them and one is way more active than the other ........... so I think it is normal like Kriminaal said ... They sometimes do that with the food at least mine do, so I wouldnt worry to much.
