    Hi thank you for your reply. I’ll get it sorted ASAP. I’ve purchased a uv light strip which will also light up hid table more but a low uv so he does not have too much As I’m leaving his original heat uv combo bulb in I’ve just put him in the bath

    Thank you. The one he’s got is brand new but I’m thinking maybe replace it for just a heat bulb and get a separate fluorescent strip uv light as where he is had not got oodles of natural light. I took him out last night in the lounge with us a bit where it was warmer and he perked up no end.

    Just as a matter of different opinion do you think I should get a uv light tube? Thank you

    Thank you for your welcome :). I’ll add some pics on now. The little log is what he sleeps in (he’s asleep now) and at the end I’ve added some moist live moss.

    Ps I have been docking him once a day for around 20 minutes which he seems to enjoy

    Just checked and his boldest part is actually 16c and his warmest is now 36c. I’ve just moved his heat lamp down slightly

    I’ve got the UV light/heat light combined but not the additional UV tube. At the coldest part of his table it’s about 20c

    hi I got my new 15 month old Hermann on Saturday and he was very lively the first 1.5 days. He did not eat a lot though. Anyway he’s still barely ate but not pooped yet either although he has had two wees that I’ve seen and now all he wants to do is sleep. His table has got the coco soil stuff...
