Hey guys! I posted a reply to my original thread, but got no response. I was wondering if anyone could explain what my little guy is doing.
What he does is he goes out and basks/sleeps for extended periods of time. It pretty much has gotten to the point of being all he does. Sometimes he'll also curl up in a corner and sleep there.
He's currently being fed spring mix from the store. When I go back to Kentucky I'll be going to the organic plant store and getting some approved stuff for him to eat there. I recently switched him away from impatiens leaves, because I wasn't totally sure of their nutritional value.
His temperatures are around normal, aside from the non-light side being a little cool (This house is absolutely horrible. The dorms are much more sealed from the outside elements) His lighting is currently a 150 watt UVB bulb and a 75 watt flood light. I will be adjusting this later to the 150 watt UVB and a 60 watt CHE when it arrives in the mail.
I did say earlier that he hasn't been the eating machine I was told he should be, but honestly, after thinking about it he has been eating okay. Anything he leaves behind is usually pretty wilted by the time he gets to it. He's been drinking healthily as well. He's been getting his daily soaks for around 30 minutes and usually wakes up then.
I question whether he is sick or not because his other habits seem to be on the normal side. Drinking, eating, going to the bathroom just fine. I'm trying to figure out if there is some kind of outside stress that may be causing this behavior.
