| Sickness | Respiratory Infection- Alleged |
| Noticed white crusty looking material in and around nostrils. Did some research to find that it could be a respiratory infection. Also found out that I'm supplementing him with too much vitamins, and that will also cause the white deposits in and around nostels. Also, if it is a respiratory infection, I was told to move the heat lamps closer to his basking area, and turn the night lighting on, to provide extra heat during the day. From now on, the humidity will be checked on a daily basis and recorded until the sickness is gone. |
