it just sleeps all day. when i put him on the floor,he runs away rather fast but when i put him back in its enclosure, he just sleeps in his hide.

what should i do with him?

thank you sir.

a warm side and a cool side doesn't really define temps. what are the temps exactly? do you have a temp gun? and soil is the best substrate for monitors. one of the reasons he could be acting that way is from dehydration. tanks with screen tops and newspaper substrate is a surefire way to dehydrate and kill a baby monitor lizard.
