I recently got my Tanimbar back after giving him to a co-worker's family some 10 years ago (!). Long story short I called and asked if she still had the tank I gave her and it turns out she still had my guy... Still grumpy as ever.
He looks healthy other than missing some toes and the tip of his tail, I'm assuming due to shedding problems... Also he obviously wasn't being checked for dead skin hanging up on his toes and tail. I had him on care fresh bedding when I gave him to her and I'm assuming it dried the tank out too much. I'm looking into other substrate possibilities. What do you guys use? Maybe cypress mulch and a moderate misting in the morning? He was being kept too cold- which I corrected- but I don't want him to lose any more digits.
