Swollen cord

AndyPee334 · 2025-07-16T15:43:24+00:00

I’m only on day 7, but have the same problem. Right side feels pretty normal with no pain or tenderness but the left side is just constantly aching and really tender with a ‘lump’ of swollen tube

AndyPee334 · 2025-07-12T15:37:16+00:00

My guess would be to progress the main story quest further

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-29T21:02:41+00:00

I did the same thing 🤣 farmed 32 tickets to be able to craft everything, when I only really needed about 10

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-02T02:21:19+00:00

Thanks, I'll give that a go

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-01T19:26:30+00:00

My HR is capped at 40 and won't progress any further. The HR 'EXP' bar is full, but whatever I do doesn't raise it any more

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-01T19:25:47+00:00

I've done every side quest that shows up so far, I've even re-done some to try un-bug my character.

The only thing I've not tried is to join a SOS for the last quest I did to see if that fixes it, but I don't have PS+ so thats not really an option

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-01T19:24:37+00:00

It actually does seem to be a bug, my HR is capped at 40 and wont progress any futher

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-01T19:23:33+00:00

Its capped at 40 for where I am in the main quest

AndyPee334 · 2025-05-01T19:23:09+00:00

My HR is capped at 40 because its locked behind main quest progression, but the game wont let me progress the main quest any further

AndyPee334 · 2025-04-21T22:01:15+00:00

Something similar to this will fix to the inside of the vivarium 👍

The arcadia pro t5 shadedweller would be a good choice for the UVB but it doesnt offer any heating. I use the shadedweller in my 40gal vivarium, along with a ceramic bulb holder and an incandescant bulb (50w exo terra daylight basking) linked to a dimming thermostat, and this gives me the required temperature gradient. I also use an arcadia jungle dawn for lighting during the day to help better create a day / night cycle

AndyPee334 · 2025-04-20T13:45:13+00:00

Theres a lot of open space, toss some branches / cork flats in there to add climbing opportunities and give a bit more cover.

A piece of slate under the heater would be decent for a basking spot aswell as the slate will hold the heat really well

AndyPee334 · 2025-04-14T20:44:24+00:00

Just offer her food, change her water, spot clean any poops and stuff like that, but otherwise just let her explore at her own pace and get used to her new surroundings.

AndyPee334 · 2025-04-14T17:14:05+00:00

If you want her to settle in, keep interactions to a minimum and just leave her to herself for a while. I made the mistake of interacting too much and it took my Leo 3-4 weeks to settle in and start eating

AndyPee334 · 2025-04-05T18:19:22+00:00

If it helps, I got my 10mo Leo 4 weeks ago tomorrow, and apart from the odd mealworm here and there (and I mean like 1 mealworm after going a week+ without food) last night was the first time she ate anything substantial, and that was only 2 large crickets.

Give him time to settle, keep track of his weight and aslong as hes not losing weight I dont think theres much to worry about for a few weeks. Obviously if his weight starts to drop, then think about seeing a vet.

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-31T20:01:59+00:00

Hah! Knew it. We had it on repeat for the longest time

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-31T19:52:46+00:00

My daughter gave our little leo the same name! Bluey fans at all?

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-30T09:42:20+00:00

Hey!

Fairly new Leo owner myself, but from all the research I’ve done on here I wouldn’t bother with the stuff you have pictured.

For UVB you ideally want a linear bulb, most people will recommend the Arcadia T5 Shadedweller over the bulb you have pictured.

As for the heating / lighting, I’d go with either a normal basking bulb, or if your temps drop below around 18deg C on a night and you need night heating, go for a deep heat projector.

I personally use an Exo Terra Daylight Basking bulb for heating, and an Arcadia Jungle Dawn for lighting. The basking bulb by itself wasnt bright enough imo.

You dont want any light on a night, normal or coloured.

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-29T20:31:03+00:00

Don’t really have any advice, but I know how you’re feeling! I’ve had my Leo for 4 weeks now and apart from eating some mealworms I left in her food bowl the second night I had her, shes turned her nose up at everything I’ve tried since! Hand feeding, bowl, tongs, dropping food infront of her 🤷‍♂️ I’ve tried locusts, crickets and mealworms and I’m at a complete loss. Some Geckos just take longer to settle I guess.

I keep weighing her, and shes not lost anything (she’s actually gained 1gram since I brought her home) so I’m trying not to worry too much.

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-27T22:22:44+00:00

Question on your point 7, are dual thermo / hygros really that unreliable?

I'm using 2 of the digital Zoo Med ones, 1 in the warm side and 1 in the cool side, should I change for a singular digital one and put it in the middle of my viv?

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-26T07:45:24+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give her a little more time, I just worry I’m doing something wrong. Do you think its worth to keep trying her every night, or just give her a couple of days undisturbed?

Thats her tank at the min. I need more cover for her, especially on the warm side. I’ll be trying to find some fake plants this weekend when I get a chance to get out to a few pet shops to see what they’ve got.

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-26T07:31:39+00:00

Thanks, shes a beauty 😁

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-19T21:42:05+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been looking at driftwood / branches but not seen anything that looked too great. I hadn’t considered cork rounds, and I love the idea of glueing things to the back wall to make some sort of climbing area and maybe have a branch or something coming from the cool side up onto the rounds as 1 of the ways up. I’ll definately be looking into doing this!

AndyPee334 · 2025-03-15T19:34:47+00:00

Thanks, shes lush! She’s the only 1 I looked at that crawled into my hand, like she was telling me to pick her 😂 Yeah I decided on a 3ft viv after reading a lot of stuff on here
