Hi,
Thank you both for your replies.
I have the UTH unplugged until I can get a thermostat. I spent all day going to chain and local pet supply stores trying to find one. I'll end up having to order online. In the meantime I think he should be fine. I have alternatives to giving good heat for him.
I've decided to wait on the feeding. He seems to be hiding exclusively since I got him settled in. Occasionally he Smithers up a plant I put that goes up to the top of the tank near the night light bulb.
I am also trying to think of ways to keep the cage more secure. At his size my other animals would kill him easily I'd he got up. I have two very large pet rats that would shred him and 2 ferrets with high prey drive that are regularly fed raw organs and meat that is appropriate for them as it is more natural. Any one of those animals could kill my little buddy with no problems. So it's a safety thing. I have large clips up to six and slate tiles I can put on top.
