Ok so last Thursday I rescued a small 2 foot normal ball from a guy on Craigslist. He wasn't in too bad of shape but, he was in a small 5 gallon tank. His substrate was filthy. The guy didn't feed him well. So I got him in a nice 20L tank with a 75 watt black light bulb. I picked up a dog water dish at petsmart and some grape vine. He went through a bad shed which I took care of. It looks like an eyecap stayed on. I took him to my local reptile store nd they told me to mist him down once a day with some water as the eyecap looks like it is cracked. I have a half log hide on the cool side and a clear plastic hide covered with some plastic foliage on the hot side with the dog bowl (which he can climb under) in the middle. I fed him last Thursday and am going to tomorrow night again. Here is the problem. He doesn't move too much. He kinda just stays under the dog bowl. I think this might be a problem because When I handle him he is cold. He doesn't seem to go to the hot or cool side. Also 72 hours after I fed him he vomited. I didn't handle Him for 48 hours after I fed. And he ate like a champ. I dunno It seems like he is in overall good health and that's what the guy at the pet store said and he owns a few. He seems happy but I want to make sure my little buddy is super well taken care of after his last owner. Any suggestions? I forgot temp is good at mid to high 80s on hot side and mid to low 70s on cool with around a 60 to 70 percent humidity
