Re: Why did he die after having him 6 months
While people can try to make guesses on the cause of death (some apparently more accusatory than others right of the back without asking questions) the only way to truly find out what happened would have been to have a necropsy done especially if you are confident in your husbandry and know that nothing on your part could have caused this.
Also remember animals do die for no apparent reasons and while it is rare it can happen.

well first idea is the female dominated him, that couldn't have helped his situation. also if he was sick your albino is probably sick now as well.
a IR light is not usually a sufficient source of heat. how do you measure your temperatures and humidity? some ways are not accurate.
when is the last time he ate? and did you notice the female "cuddling" with him? this is not a good sign.

HIGHLY inaccurate... if it reads 90*F the actual ground temperature could be double that. they are not good to trust as your only source of temperature and humidity metering.

If they are the "dial" type gauges, these are know for being a little off to WAY!! off. The better bet is the the digital ones from exoterra.
