    what's the humidity? floyd shut down once... it was winter so the furnace was on and drying up the air... got a humidifier by him and he snapped out of it!

    How are you measuring the temps/humidity, just out of curiosity? Sometimes people end up with the analog hygrometers/thermometers--and those tend toward being inaccurate. But if you're using digital, then your temps and humidity sound right on. Have you changed his enclosure at all in the last month or two? New hides/substrate, new food source?
