No. Everything has been the same. One thing I just thought of he does try to climb the wall in a certain area of the enclosure and than slides down. I always afraid he is going to hurt his head. Maybe the underside of his head is exposed to that? It is not red or bleeding. Seems like wear and...

@Tom @SinLA @wellington @Alex and the Redfoot Okay will see if I am a green thumb. Got my LED grow lights up and running. Will see over the next few months if I can make Sandy's enclosure a little more green. LED grow lights will turn on and off with Basking and 8 - 100 watts lights. Got a...
