    Oof did you check any of the stickies or advice from the other keepers here?

    Your little one is stressed, please read this:

    General BP info:

    I advise following what Deborah pointed out if you haven't already. Hides and smaller tubs are like security blankets for a hatchling.

    You MUST get a thermostat for the UTH and you MUST get a dimmer for any heat lamps. The poor beep will be so hot and stressed it for sure won't eat and it will dehydrate !

    Vivarium Electronics or Spider Robotics make reliable thermostats. And Home depot carries dimmers.

    On average, ambient temps should not fall below 75f or go above 82f. When Coco was a tiny hatchling at 68g, I had her in a 9qt Really Useful Box. I drilled holes for ventilation. If you're based in the U.S.A they're sold at Staples.

    You'll get this sorted! I had an awful time the first couple of weeks when I got Coco back in September. The lovely folks here helped me get her out of an awful stuck shed, eating properly and now she's past the 220g mark !
