The plants/vines are not real but made from a safe non-toxic natural silk so the box said that they came in...Alfonso's had them in there since August(washed occasionally in treated water)) the Substrate is exo-terra tropical from coconut plant. There is a log and branches from a jacaranda tree (again, been in with him since last august). It really looks like the swelling is some form of odema...the fluid seems to pool in his body in relation to how he is sitting. ( thighs and bum/lower back when vertical, jaw and tummy when horizontal) . Alfoso is still hunting and eating and did a nice big poop yesterday( Funny how exciting pooping can be..)
The swelling is not getting bigger which is good?
Thanks for you help. Much appreciated.
