    First the cedar....then i'll get a smaller tank till he gets a bit larger.
    I'll take care of the light and get a pad. and try out some different hides.

    Any other advice as far as feeding and what I can do to get him to grow?
    Well if you get a heat pad u need a thermostat. I know some people here are completely against using lights. I think lights are ok IF you can keep the temps up and provide them to thermoregulate. Grated belly heat IS better some heat is better then none.

    The 40g i think is to big because people generally keep adults in smaller then that.

    Also you need 2 TIGHT fitting hides

    As far as feeding goes do you have a gram scale you can use?

    Most people feed juvies under 500 grams like on a 4 day schedule. I feed every 5 days but as they get bigger you want to cut back to 7 days.

    Also if u get a gram scale weight him and feed him 10-15% of his body weight if hes like under 1,000 grams

    Btw dont take it as everything you do is wrong. I understand you have had him for 3 years and he is living and healthy but making sure his enclosure is perfect to what he needs is always better.
