Hi All,
Please allow me to introduce you to Shelly Ann. We’ve had her a week today.
She’s about 6 months old. Eastern Herman’s.
Curious about some of her behaviour and if we are taking care of her correctly.
First she has started to sleep by burrowing a bit next to her basking rock. As you can see in one of the pictures. I’m wondering if this is because she’s cold? She used to sleep under the hide in the middle. She goes to Sleep about 17:30. UVB off at 18:00. IR off at 19:00 then back on at 07:00. Cool side sits between 23-27 hot side 32-36. Humidity between 40-70%.
Shallow water dish always topped up. Food dish with fresh food daily including calcium powder. Cuttle fish bone which she mostly ignores.
She also rarely uses the log hide on the cool side wondering if it is because that side is too cold for her?
Given her 2 soaks this week in warm water with a little brush. Looked like she enjoyed the drink.
Also in the other picture built a little holiday home with some extra bits, but question is how long can she stay in that other tub without a heat lamp? But this can be potentially taken outside on hot days.
Any feedback and advice would be much appreciated.
