    Default Extremely concerned!!!

    Yes temps are measured by my infrared thermometer gun, and humidity measured by a hygrometer, temps stay at 81.5 hot spot and 79 ambient with a plant for hide/shade and a water bowl, humidity stays at 80% with 3 mists done throughout the day, 1 morning/1 afternoon and 1 before bed.

    I am quite nervous though because despite all that I witnessed what appeared to be regurgitation behavior. He was opening his mouth and closing his eyes, or even almost like he was swallowing, my first thought was he is possibly trying to throw up, or he is swallowing something, so I also thought maybe impaction. I drew up a warm bath of 80 degrees and let him/her sit for a minute (more like 10) and took him out without any poop. He moved from one hole he dug to another and now he's sitting fine. No mouth opening or anything. I literally am so confused and I am so nervous I can not sleep. I don't want to lose him.

    lol If he kept doing that over and over, he was shedding. They eat their skin when they shed. I may be wrong, but I don't think they can swallow without closing their eyes?

    A regurge will be VERY obvious. They don't just bring up the food, they bring up their entire stomach. Mine regurged once (apparently she's very lucky as frogs often die after a regurge) but when you see it you immediately know something's very wrong. There are no questions as to what's happening.
