Hello All!
My name is Mike Gent, I live in Nottingham England and have been keeping Amphibians on and off for the past 30 years. I am new to this site but couldnt resist joining after visiting a few times!
Superb site, well done to all involved and good luck for the future.
Can anybody shed any light on an issue we have with a fire?
Having already a healthy male terrestris of approx 5 years, we decided to invest in 2 females to 'accompany' him in his 'world'!
Both new arrivals were quite plump (In a healthy way) and 1 in particular already looked very gravid! (Bad news to our male as it doesnt look like he is going to be THE father!)
All 3 settled in together well and apart from the fact that the male seems to have taken a shine to the gravid female (He tends to rest with her no matter where she decides to lay!) every thing looked OK.
However, all 3 have been very quiet for a few days now and 1 of the females (The slimmer of the 2) has been very 'still', slightly pale in her yellow and seems to be experiencing a long drawn out skin sheddding episode.
To appease my young son, I explained that she is perhaps unhappy due to the fact that the male is spending his time with her friend!
The only thing to have changed is the weather which has suddenly turned up and results in the tank temp sitting at 22-25 a lot.
Can anybody help?
Looking forward to any replies...or even just some hello's from fellow FIRE enthusiasts.
Cheers,
Mike.
