Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
For a couple months now my bp has been extremely active. It's so bad now that he wakes me up every morning. I'm very worried. He stopped eating too but is staying in 775-794 gram range.
He's in a 20g long tank
Cold side: 75-81
Hot side: 82-86
UTH spot: 88-92. The 92 being below the paper towel
Humidity:55-67% a few times it dropped to 37 but not for long
60watt bulb above hot spot and wet towel on top of tank
Also his tank is all covered so he doesn't feel so open.
Can anyone tell me what else to try? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I think Im missing the issue. The activity level? When my ball was smaller you could plan on it being out every night crawling around and checking things out. Its not a problem. They don't move much but they do move and some just move more than others. Mine still will usually make an appearance each night but not for as long as it used to.

I'm concerned because he's nonstop roaming during the day and trying to escape. The only thing that gets him to stop is taking him out and letting his roam and then he'll go back to his hides for a few hours. I've never seen him like this it's a huge change in behavior and with the off feed i don't know if it's normal or something to worry about.

I wouldn't worry. If he appears healthy, holds weight, and husbandry is good he is probably doing it just to make you worry.
