Hi Guys,
Jerri is much more active in the last week and has started eating more again I put it down to the weather change!
However I’m finding he’s out early to his lamp and doesn’t want to move out of it. After a bath he’ll pop over for a small quick feed then back to the lamp. It’s rare that I really see him leave the lamp. My temps are around 32-35 at the lamp and 23 at the cool end which he will move to in order to sleep.
I have added shade more towards the lamp in case he was a little scared as he is still super small and young.
I’m worried that he isn’t eating or been active enough. Due to been a viv my basking spot does dim to keep the area at the correct temp. Is this a problem does it really need to be at 100% strength and moved higher (this wouldn’t currently be possible).
I discuss my enclosure in my previous topics should you need any more info. He does still seem wary when handling he likes to do a 180 and face away. So I’ve done my best to leave him be not wanting to make the situation worse but still do bath him daily. His weight gain has only been 2g in a few months now. At 34.
All his plumbing seems to be working just fine.
