Hi all,

I'm a little over a month into using this new 20 gallon setup. It's a clone of the recommended 20 gallon setup thread. It's got an 11 watt uth on a thermostat under the hide on the left side, and a 75 watt infrared centered on a dimmer. I have that thermometer on the right side with a probe in the hide monitoring the uth's temperature, the ambient temperature and the humidity. I recently added another thermometer/hygrometer to make sure the first one is accurate. I'm getting a consistent 90 degrees inside the hide, 80 degrees outside and around 40%+ humidity.

Here's the issue. Sol, our BP, ate the first day in the the new setup and then once a week ago. We're used to him eating 3 times a week.

He also used the hide with the uth for the first couple of weeks but now completely avoids it. He almost exclusively hangs out on the other side. He didn't have a uth in his old setup, maybe it's too weird for him.

My gut says to just wait it out and that he'll adjust, but I didn't want to go without consulting y'all and find out that I was doing something wrong that I could fix and make his life better.

He's 34" long and 740 grams.

Thanks,

Jonah
