		    | Keeping Gaboon Vipers | Reply |  
		    | by Bothrops1911 on July 28, 2018 | Mail this to a friend! |  
		    | I am a beginner on Bitis and i really need help with :
 A baby gaboon viper is really stressed and the
 ecdysis is very late,the humidity is good and i am
 keeping the skin hydrataed,however,i can not see
 him drinking water not even in the mister,
 i have a few questions and really look for help:
 --The humidity is ok (72%)now but to regulate it
 automatically(day/night) is safe to use foggers( i
 have concerns of respiratory diseases) because
 of the fogger.
 Once he gave the first signs of ecdysis i stopped
 feeding and it was like 15-days ago,the skin do
 not look stucked but i really feel him very
 stressed,
 --Before starting the ecdysis he was eating well
 and looking hydrated(but i never saw him
 drinking)
 -I tried baths in warm water but he did not shed
 and became more stressed.I am trying to keep
 the skin hydrated to avoid getting
 stucked,misting is also stressing.
 i know that this level of stress can lead to a
 number of diseases...
 can any of you share some knowledge with a
 beginner? I will be very grateful.
