Hey, well he wasn't using his hide, so he was using his water bowl as a hide. Well, I tried to get him to use the hide, but he wouldn't. I simply moved the water to the cool side, and now he uses his hide! Wow, alot easier than I thought it would be.
p.s. I'm waiting till cupid sheds (should be in the next 48 hours), then im looking in his mouth for any signs of mouthrot, and if I see any im taking him to the vet, if I don't hes staying home.
