Sounds like it got really stressed out from all the moving around.

I would try to offer more pinky mice....chopped up f/t pinks should do the trick.

That enclosure is also very small for a baby argus. What do you have planned for the future?

I would get rid of the wire mesh top and replace it with plexi(or put aluminum foil over the mesh to keep heat and humidity from escaping. A heat lamp + wire mesh top = beef jerky making machine. You are loosing all your heat and humidity out the top.

I would ditch the heat pad and watch out with the foam around the lamp. Most foam products are flamable. The heat pad will most likely create hot spots and cause the risk of burning the monitor. With a enclosed top and a lamp you should not need the extra heat anyway.

Wooden stacks work fine for smaller monitors; however, the method is mainly used for small rock dwelling species. I round the edges of my stacks off slightly with a sander and it usually drops the risk of injury. As quick as the argus is going to grow, I would start researching a few other ways that are appropriate for argus to hide....they love to dig
