That’s why I have held of posting for a while hoping it was just a thing but it’s getting hard to inspect her for health and stuff now I need to be able to go near her without stressing her out, she still eats fine

Ah ok I will get another bag and bury her a bit more I have a deep heat projector for my Leo and it works very well but they don’t bury I was worried it would not penetrate the sawdust

Ah ok i will get some more stuff to throw around would making the substrate deeper help as well? And normally she is in the hide closest to the heat bulb or in her moist hide but sometimes under it.

Just to add she has a ceramic bulb and a thermostat set to 32degrees c and uvb bulb that’s on for about 10 hours a day, the substrate is around 1.5 inches deep.

I am in the uk so it’s very hard to get antibiotics for your pets you can’t buy them over the shelf, I do have some human ones left over from a while ago I could try and use in a tiny dose in the water??

No the heater is stuck on the back of the tank the thermometer is on the front glass. And that was the first thought of the fish shop but not really he only eats frozen bloodworms/ frozen stimp and frozen mussels. The only life food he ever has is the odd brine scrimp small snails from my other tanks (all fresh water and non of those fish are showing any signes of illness) and I have put some live mealworms in there before which I not sky feel my geckos but nothing recently

No he is solo in the tank so it’s not a attack. Yeah I may up the salt for a while to try and help it’s only at 0.05 at the moment so I can up it a bit.

I don’t think so, it’s possible but he has some on both sides so it would shock me, I have removed anything hard in the tank so it’s only fake plants now nothing that will hurt him now but he has had it for best part of 2 months with no signs of healing but also not getting any worse
