Right now I have my hatchling situated in what I'd estimate to be a 10 gallon terrarium. He's already eaten once in it but now it's been a week and a half since he's eaten and I'm concerned his relatively large environment is stressing him which is causing him to refuse food. I've seen it cited an ideal hatchling floorplan is 40 square inches - that comes out to only 6.32' x 6.32' on the x and y axis. Is this correct? I'd love for some experienced owners to drop what they consider to be ideal x y z dimensions for a hatchling enclosure. Thanks.
As a side not, my feeding methodology is to leave the pinkie on a heating light on top of his cage to thaw. It becomes roughly body temperature an then I drop it in. No dangling by my hand or some tongs. Making a note of this in case I'm doing it all wrong.
