    Eating Schedule Change?

    He is a hibernating species but I don't know if he had ever been hibernated I purchased from a pet store and the folks there aren't worth much for knowledge I'll go double check his temps now to make sure they haven't fluctuated

    My tank is a fifty gallon tank the pacing that he does is getting better but still climbs on his house now and it's more treacherous than ever I agree that my biggest problem is size I hope to by next spring have an outdoor garden built for him for the warmer months but still must do something...
