My lovely daughter has acquired a one year old hermann, straight away I noticed its shell, slight pyramiding and the pattern is sku with. I have had its nails clipped as we're really long. Here's my worry it's in large table with duo 100watt bulb ( arcadia d3), a 50/50 top soil n sand plenty of slate rock pool to explore but all it wants to do is dig a hole in the bedding area and not come out with being picked up and taken out. I have bathed her everyday since Friday, today taken outside but ate nothing tried all tips with getting nutrobal in her. Under her lamp it's 30c and in den flicks between 18_20c. Her eyes are clear she has passed both in the bath and they looked normal. When forced out she does bask under the lamp but within 30 minutes she's back in her hole. I left her Saturday after her bath with lamp on from 7 til 8 and she didn't show her face once. I got her out at seven gave her bath and put her under lamp. | |

Thank you. the pyramiding is not too bad.Country of Origin is1/2 way down the rt side of the Cert.. It will move from the heat when warmed up. No extra heat/light is needed at night. It needs a 2x1metre wooden sided pen with netting over, 15cm high - "gravel board " is ideal. Provide shade areas, bring in at night. Reduce handling to an absolute minimum, thus reducing stress, which I suspect is the the main problem. Only a minute amount of Nutrabal is needed 1 or 2x per week. | |
