    Re: Question about feeding new bp

Use a digital thermometer with a probe to measure the temps on the ground. The ambient(air) temp should be at least 75. You need two identical tight fitting hides with one small opening on each. One hide goes in the warm side and one in the cool side! If it feels secure and warm then it will eat! Your humidity should be 50-80%! Good luck!
    Just seen this. He hides all day. Just this night hes been out for like past hr wandering around.

    The cage sits in a dresser where both drawers are taken out so the sides and back he cannot see anything but wood since its sits in there. There is room between the tub and walls tho. The front i have a blanket hanging from it to kinda hide the front so its dark inside. I normally put blanket over at night for 2 reasons. One so its dark(night time) for him and 2 my dogs are nosey. They sleep in the room they see him moving they get curious. Since blanket is up their to dumb to know whats behind it lol

    The UTH sits at 90-94*

    Hot side temp is like mid to high 80's

    Cool side like mid 70s low 80's

    Humidity is between 50-80 on both sides.
