I am so stressed about my little guy I got 2 days ago. I just want everything to be perfect for him and I want to go above and beyond to ensure he is well taken care of because I want him for life. I am just reading SO many mixed things and it and's putting a pit in my gut that I am not doing something right. As of right now, I am broke until Friday. So my question here is woll he be okay until I can get him everything he needs?
As of now, he is in a decent sized Rubbermaid tub, with a basking temp of around 85-90 degrees, and the humidity in the enclosure I TRY to keep to 80, but I have to mist it very often. I am at work right now so I am guessing his humidity is down in the moderate range right now. I have been keeping foil over his container to keep some humidity in. His bulb is suspended over his basking area, and I am looking to get a power sun MVB today so he has uvb. He did not eat yesterday, but ate today after a nice 15 minute soak in some water and real sunlight outside. He is very alert and active when he is awake. He has plants and a large shallow water dish in his enclosure.
I know I just figured out he needs shorter walls for his enclosure so I am worried about that. But I am doing everything I can to make sure his temps are perfect. He also has a heating pad under his basking area that makes it a nice 85-90 on the ground.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Will he be okay until I can get him a shorter enclosure in a few days?
