    well I'm kinda new to this all myself but my guess is he is stressed due to no hides and or to big of a tank... there are some helpful people here who know tons more than I that I'm sure will help you but I would suggest hides and or a smaller tank. where did you get him?

    uhhh Jas?
    Ok, i'll go for it here in case this is a serious question.
    Don't try feeding everyday. Wait a week or so without handling or disturbing. Get some snug hides and maybe a smaller tank or tub. What are your temps and humidity like? What are you using for heat, and do you have a thermostat to control it?

    thank you guys,

    i will give him two identical hides and do not disturb and handling until next week.

    i use a heat mat for heat, i have no idea about humidity, but temps are ok.
