Re: baby bosc not growing need help
I concur with Varanus Mad. The viv looks nice to us, but there is no real hiding opportunities, and no burrowing opportunity in there.
I can't stress enough, Boscs live a great deal of their lives underground, They are born underground, and will die without it.
Sadly, my first Bosc never got to go underground until I buried him to lay him to rest.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help
I had actually never thought about making somw sort of barricade to add more dirt. Ill get some either tomorrow if I have enough time and if not then definetly the weekend. I already have some bags of play sand here that I can mix in.
Much appreciated!

Cheers. Never a problem.
On a side note, My wee babies went underground the day they arrived here.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help
Looks better for now. Did you add play sand too? helps hold a burrow.
It will up your cool end temp having less air to heat with the added soil. Keep an eye on it.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help
What I would do is pack dirt right up till it touches that tallest shelf, Slope it up like a hillside.
should not take that much more dirt to accomplish.

Re: baby bosc not growing need help
Aye man had a bag of play sand left over from when I tried it with my beardies ages ago. It has helped my cool temp I think. Last I checked it was around 85f as opposed to 90f but im not in just not so will need to check again. Think upto the top shelf would be a bit too high as it would only leave a few inches. How many pinkies max do you think he could eat a day? I take it fluffss would cause impaction? Picked up a few just incase when the first pet shop only had them left but not tried them uet

Re: baby bosc not growing need help
Impaction is a myth too.
If your bosc can fit a fluff into it's mouth, then no ill effects will come from swallowing it.
Heck, my Boscs eat a bunch of dirt with everything they eat, and have never been impacted from that.

*With proper husbandry and no calcium sand. I believe anything that isn't kept warm enough will have trouble digesting things. And god knows calcium sand is death in a bag. At least that's what I've gathered from all other reptiles. Is it different with these guys?
