The first few weeks we had him, he seemed to be on a fairly normal schedule where he'd get up shortly after the lights came on, bask, get a bath, eat, bask a little more, and then head back to his hide. Lately he's been staying burried and not coming out at all.
1) Is it ok to dig him out to get his bath and at least offer food? Even when we have done so, he's not eating much or staying out to bask more than 30 minutes.
I've bumped up the temp a bit on the warm side of his enclosure to see if that helps.
Temps are: cool side - 78, warm side - 88, basking - 100, overnight - 70
Basking light (that I cut a section of the screen out for) comes on at 10am for 13 hours. The day light (on the left) comes on at 11:30am with the warm side heater for 8 hours. Air humidity runs between 55-70%. Been keeping the substrate moist by watering it every day (about 1 liter a day, and every other day about 2 liters).
He was about 1.6 oz on Oct 2. Today (Nov 5) he is about 1.5oz.
