Well What if all your gecko does is stay in their shedding box, she never leaves it, even at night I'll find her in it. I don't know why that is but she won't leave that dang box, i almost want to chunk it. it's rather annoying

I read that if it's to humid it can cause them to get respitory problems so if she is in their all the time and it's humid won't that cause her problems?

Also on my other one's cage I bought an undertank heater and carpet but when I feel it, it never feels warm enough, the thermometer I sat right on top of the hottest part and it seems to be 80 constitanlty is that okay, Should I add a heat lamp since it is getting colder here.

I have a UTH on the aquarium for the first girl and it heats up just fine but she is currently on sand, which I plan to change tonight or tommorow because I just recently moved her into it, and I didn't have anything else at the moment for bedding but since I hand feed anyways and she only stays in that stupid humid hide it's all good, right?

What are you using for a humid hide?

How long have you had your leo?

Your warm end of the tank should be about 90 to 92F, not 80.

Okay 90 that's what I thought, I don't know why the heating pad is not working I just bought it, to change from the heating lamp but to be honest the heating lamp did 10x's better

I have had my leo since uhhh the beginning of august so two and a half months and no she is not shedding

Well the temperature in with Zynx is okay then but not with keekeio....maybe I'll try papertowels right above the heating one because maybe it's acting like a insulator?
