I recently put Thor in a new home ( see pic below) now he's acting really weird. He has a little watery eyes, not really moving, hasn't eaten in 2 weeks, when I pick him up he doesn't move anywhere. I don't know what's wrong with him. His temperature is 85 degrees I going to go get him a new bulb in a few days. I would love some help because I don't know what yo do.

Basking spot needs to be 95-100. Over all temp I like 75 with a humidity of around 30% for an adult. A two year old or younger should have humidity of 50% or higher with a temp no lower then 80.

I really think he's dead... He's making little to no movement.

You're not being mean don't worry.... Now he isn't moving and he still has his eyes open. I put him under the basking light... Still no movement

as of this moment until you figure out what's going on I would not put him directly under the light if he's weak or sick he may not be able to move away put him near the light so he can get warm but not too warm
