I’ve had my hatchling for nine days and he hasn’t eaten. We had thought the UVBUVS light was too strong as he kept his eyes closed. Breeder said to keep his hide area ( half of a closed stérilité container) humidity of 99 and temp of 100. And then basking area of about 110 and then cooler areas with ambient temp of 80. Heating pad under his spaghnum moss humid area. ( the closed area) the rest of the stérilité is covered in coarse coir and is dry. After reading extensively I’ve discovered that seems to be way too hot for him. His eyes were swollen and so I started to do many food baths daily for him with warm water baths too along with putting saline on his eyes. He now opens his eyes again and is more active but still not eating. Help!
