I did mention, i put him in there while i was cleaning his critter keeper, but i think i might transfer him to my empty 10 gallon, i cant regulate heat well in a 8 inch containter. The temps in there as of now, are Daytime: 82-85 hot side, 72-75 cold side. Night time 72-75 hot side 68-70 cold side.
I left him in there after i cleaned because he was exploring around.
So i have had him since 10am on Saturday, and the breeder said that was his feeding day, i admit i was so focused on him that i missed a few questions. i was assuming 5-7 days feeding time. so i guess it would be a bit closer to 10 days that he hasnt eaten.
Today was the first day that he was set up in a an enclosure with a heat gradient that he can actually use. which was when i put him in the large enclosure. my Ball feeds on Thursday so i might just pick up a fuzzy for him and see how it goes then, since he would have been in a properly temp enclosure for 3 days at that point.
Yeah my buddy and i built the enclosures and he built them while i was at the show. I didnt know he was going to mount the heat lamps in the inside. i think im going to use some aluminum screen and staple it to the top and make the holes bigger to put the lamps on top.
Also like i said, i can get him to strike the food but he immediately recoils from the food when he gets it.
Im starting to think that he just might have been stressed.
I over worry about my little guys haha.
