Im also wondering if the test was a false negative. Just because the worms didnt show up in the sample, id be hesitant to call Orion 100% parasite free just yet. Im just firing shots in the dark at this point tho. For better answers, copy and paste Griffs trouble in the enclosure sticky with the questions answered.

Hi Maharg!

Yes, temps and humidity are the same as they always have been - 80 - 83 degrees F daytime, 78 - 79 degrees F at night, humidity 75% - 85% always. The only thing that's really changed is the light cycle. The day light cuts off around 6:30 PM now instead of around 7:30 - 7:45 PM.

Perhaps the shorter days has something to do with it?


As far as the parasites, yes, it could be a false positive. There is still a chance the sample was clear,but he's still infected. Before his stool was very runny, but his last two poops were normal in consistency, so that's a little reassuring.

Thanks for your reply!
