warm water soaks

[malt_geckos]

Well, I have decided to start some warm water soaks with my female that isn't laying. How many should I do a day and for how long? She's sitting in a deli cup right now with some warm water in it and the top on. She's watching me type. lol.

I'd say maybe 2-3 for about 10-15. The only problem is this is going to stress her and this is going to act like a double edged sword. I would suggest possibly a larger lay box with warmer temps and a nice moist medium. This should cause less stress but hopefully act like the warm soaks.

Well, I have been giving her the soaks but I keep her in her tub over the warm side so the water stays warm. She seems fine with it, she just lays there and relaxes. So, it's not stressing her really. She has a huge laying box for her size. lol. It's got nice, moist sifted peat moss in it. Temps are at about 78-80 degrees on the cool side where the hide is depending on the AC running in the house.
