Bloated?

[MeTree]

I really hate how some stores will treat their animals just horrible. It is sad how many times that people try to confront managers about how they are killing their animals, and the managers just shrug it off, and even worse, scold the person for confronting them. It's a good thing for your little guy that you rescued him, though. He is really cute!

Cody is doing great! Thanks for asking. I just soaked him today, so he is soo shiny! Measured him today and he is almost 3"! I can't believe it, he is hardly 2 months old.

It was probably water weight. When they hold water or are well hydrated they appear bloated. Your pac probably urinated after getting out of the water. They usually urinate in their water but sometimes do after coming out or when they're startled. Like toads do when you pick them up. The temps are definetly too low for one that young. Even adults need very little fluxuation between daytime temps and night time temps. High 70s at night is an ideal temp and day should be no higher that 81 or 82 for one that young. To much temp fluxuation can cause stress. Hope the little guy/girl eats for you soon. Don't for get humidity. 70 to 80%.

I assumed the water had something to do with it. I stuck the Repti-Therm Mini to the back of his tank, and the temperatures have warmed up a lot. I'm leaving it on all day now, because it does not get very hot, and keeps his temps around 79-81F. I'm keeping the humidity around 85%.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah you've got that right, some pet stores keep there animals in terrible conditions! Haha, he sure is cute, that is when I manage to see him out of his little burrow!

Wow, Cody is huge compared to the tiny little pac that he used to be! Wow, 3" in 2 months! That's over an inch a month, clearly he's being taken great care of!
