You could always spy on her with a small camera. @Steve A can tell you what type he has been using.
I have one. I might reposition it. I just worry so much.
if she doesn’t bask I’ll take her in. Would I be worried about a URI with this behavior?
Is she showing any symptoms of anything?I have one. I might reposition it. I just worry so much.
Nope. The only thing difference is I don’t see her basking. Only thing I’ve changed is the bulb, but she has basked since then. And then I cut a few spider plant babies out of there. I noticed the overall ambient temp went down just around 2 degrees with the bulb change. House is colder due to colder temps outside but it’s still comfortable here.
There’s been a few chams lately with some changes that seem to be related to the seasons changing. If she doesn’t show any other symptoms or changes, I’d just keep an eye on her.
Hopefully it’s related to that, this is my first winter with her. Thank you so much. I appreciate you! I’m always worried I will notice something going on too late.
I hear you! I don’t know if it’ll help ease your mind, but my sweet Kali never basks. If she does, she’s very secretive about it. I find her down low hunting isopods and wandering/traveling the mid levels but never the top. I’ll put her up to what is supposed to be her basking area and she climbs down from it. Lol She’s very active, has a healthy appetite, healthy elimination and has been like this for as long as I can remember. Obviously she’s getting her needed uvb and heat, I just never see it.
I normally would see her in her basking spot early morning through afternoons on the weekend and then week days she was usually up there when I come home for lunch. She has been mid level lately wandering around. Always looking like she’s contemplating life and watching tv when it’s on
I also extended basking timer with the bulb and weather change in case she wanted it longer. Now I have my camera pointed right at it so I guess I’ll see.
I hope it settles down for you! It’s a never ending job.
I bought these on sale for like $22 each. I have 2 of them set up. They're a little more now. The quality is VERY Good. But I do sometimes have issues with the cameras showing up on the website.
Update. She is basking. My worries have been alleviated for now.
That truly is a jungle. Spike probably practices his Tarzan yodel when you are not around.
Someone needs to make a video of spike doing thisThat truly is a jungle. Spike probably practices his Tarzan yodel when you are not around.
