    When to worry...

    I purchased a male butter 2012 hatchling who arrived Nov 8, 2012 and weighed 77g and he ate a two f/t hoppers three days later; since then he has been a PITA (Pain in the a$$) when it comes to feeding, his last weigh in he weighed 75 grams..(Temp is 85 hot end and 78 on cool end) and fed once a week. At what point do I become really concerned for his health and over all growth and well being?


    P.S. Last weigh in 12/17/2012

    keep him at those temps and dont even show him food for ~4 weeks. ill bet hr gets good and hungry and takes his next opportunity to eat. and make sure his humidity is in the proper range.

    he should be feeding now. what size is his enclosure? you could bump his temps up a little. 88-89 hot spot.
