My male normal has been off feed for the last 3 weeks. He was hatched out last April and weighs around 300 grams. For the last several weeks he refuses to use any of his hides........instead he prefers to hide underneath the carpet.

His setup is pristine.......I think. He is in a 2X3 Reptile Basics enclosure with two identical hiding spots, fresh water, and spot on temperatures. The basking spot is 90 degrees while the ambient temperature is in the low 80's. The humidity ranges from 50 to 60%. He just finished a bad shed.

Driectly above him is my female. Although she ate last night my male refused. Would the female being above him have anything to do with anything? Suppose my male is wanting to breed?

At first I thought that my hides were two small for him so I replaced them with the next size bigger. He goes into them last night and I thought "Ah...that was the issue...his hides were two small. I check on him today and the rascal is back under the carpet!

Any ideas?????????????
