I do not have a scale. And he hasn't ate for me yet, but he looked more interested in it last time I tried. He hasn't gotten any thinner and he is still active. I'm just worried about him being cold or something. When I look at my probed thermometer about a inch off the ground hot side it says like 83-88 normally. But when I measure ground temp with my gun it shows 88-100 depending on how close I measure to the direct rays. I know 83-88 is cold but his belly temp/ ground temp is perfect. Am I doing that right? And he is basking in the day. It's only been three days now on the basking though. But he is there right now, just chillin.
How thick is your substrate? and is the hide right over the heat pad? If so, check the ground temps inside the hide. It might be cold in there and that's why he's on top of it
