    Not eating

    also his shell seems to be a little softer than normal[hr] His diet is mainly dole spring mix. I do give him dandelions on occasion. I do not know exactly how old he is but I would guess around 3 months He has a basking lamp and a uvb light, it is around 95 deg F under the lamp.
