figuring out my baby

[AlexisFitzy]

Before he started eating like this, he was handling fine. It's just been the past week - kindof like he's realizing he likes food and wants more... LOL... So maybe I should shoot for every 4 days?

My set up is a tank - I know I'm struggling to get the correct humidity. He was going into shed when I bought him, but the second bad shed was totally on me. I believe my issue is the screen cover and heat lamps. I don't think my UTH is working well, so I had to kick up the lamps to get the heat correct, which I know is drying out my humidity. My temps are correct, but the humidity is in the crapper. I've actually just got a new UTH, thermostat, and some other goodies to work on the humidity issues I just haven't gotten to fix the tank yet. Was going to try and work on it yesterday when he decided he wanted to eat again.

Haha yeah mine was like that too! Lol but definitely get him on a feeding schedule of either 4 or 5 days whatever works best. And keep handling to a minimum maybe once a week so you don't stress him out and he'll keep eating for you. But handling him for just a little while will get him used to you and should help a lot.

I have a tank set up too that I'm about to change over to T8's to get rid of heating and humidity issues. But for a quick fix you can mist the tank when you see them going into shed or put a damp towel over part of the screen so humidity doesn't go through the top. There's also a thread on here about wrapping up the screen top so you won't lose heat and humidity. If I can find it I'll post a link to it for you
