 Have problems? Need Help?

OK - There are a lot of Newbies out there and I can’t find the post started for this...

If you have a Problem, and need Help, or just have a simple Question about some thing,
You Need to give the following Information, for Any of us to give Advice.

   1- What is your setup like?
        (Details and Pics would be nice!)
  2 - How big is the Enclosure?
  3 - How Big is your BP?
  4 - How Long have you had your BP?
  5 - What are your Temp/Humidity Levels?
  6 - What thermometer do you use (Dial or Digital)?
  7 - Do you have a UTH (Under Tank Heater)?
  8 - Do you have a Thermostat to Control the UTH?
  9 - How many Hides do you have?
10 - What Substrate/Bedding are you using?
11 - How often do you Handle him?
12 - What are you Feeding it (Live-f/t-prekilled)?
13 - How Often are you Feeding it?
14 - How Big and what kind of Prey you are Feeding it?
        (Mouse/Rat - pinky, fuzzy, hopper, adult, etc.)


If do Not answer these Questions... it will be very Difficult to try to offer help.

Seems like a Lot of Questions, but these need to be answered, so that we know what is going on!

If I may???

Also it helps to know where the animals enclosure is in the house. You might not think it but location of the tank can play a role in husbandry issues. :D

Great post!!! Marg

Agreed, and thanx :o)

Can’t believe I forgot that...

Drafts, Direct Sunlight, Humidity and Temperature in the Room the Enclosure is in...
All play factors in the enclosure temps/humidity!!!
The weather here has been Very Humid... had rained off and on, all day, and my humidity was Through the Roof!!!

(ended up spending 1/2K$ on new enclosures and accessories, before I figured out the problem... LoL)

Nope they don’t have the ability to sticky here which sucks. Great threads get lost in the shuffle unfortunately.

From what Iknow... the humidity in an Incubator should be just about 100%
(don’t quote me on that) ...as far as the eggs... All the pics I have seen are Mostly eggs on their sides, but I have seen where people kinda gather them together... like how they were layed.

You may want to make a new post...
Where others, who may be able to answer with more precise information, will not miss it :o)

Which is why This was added up There^^^
