    Rapid breathing?

    guess i'll just have to monitor (very bad pun lol) his situation. Whilst the subject is up in the air, can anyone recommend a decent MVB for me?

    Rapid breathing?

    Yeah 90 is basking, a little too low it seems. I'll also spray the viv a bit more and try get the humidity up. He's about 6 months old but I've only had him a month. the whole set up is only about a month old, and i'd say the basking and UV bulbs are 6-8" at most from the basking spot. It's...
