Normal growth? Help me :(

What are your outdoor temperatures? Where are you located? That doesn't sound right. If he is warm enough, he should be coming out to eat every day.

Arizona so it's 80-95F during the day. It's also that temperature inside the enclosure 24/7.

About a week. I figured it could be a soaking issue but I've been consistent (either right or wrong) since August. Nothing out of routine.

I soaked him today and he pooped.

Are you sure he’s not coming out at all? I put a WiFi camera in my box because I was a nervous wreck with mine’s move outside. It took a few weeks but he is settled with a routine now. I would never see him during the work week if I didn’t make an effort. The camera tells me that he comes out every day close to noon and stays out for a couple of hours. When I come home, he is always settled in his box. It would appear that he never moves if I didn’t know better

I have a camera too. I know he doesn't come out. He just stays in his corner. I soaked him yesterday and he pooped out his entire system. I soaked him today (no feeding yesterday) and he pooped nothing, obviously. Both soaks were 1+ hour.

When is the last time you soaked him?

I put him back Sunday. He hasn't come out since. Been in his corner for 48 hours. Should I just wait it out until he comes out on his own (maybe he'll be hungry enough) or should I forcefully keep bringing him out to eat? I don't know what to d.

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

No further updates. I feed him the bowl you see in picture every 3 days. He eats pretty much the whole thing. Apart from that, my entire backyard has got grass, weeds, and other things for him to graze on. I do catch up eating on his own from time to time. He has a water bowl nearby and has an air-mist that blows on him every 1 hour. Our temps are 80-110F!

He turns 7 in late August

Nearly 3 years after my last post, and 9 years after my original thread:, here are some updates:
Fully outside obviously. Lives in his own little house with temp-controller heater. Everything great. He's 10 years old in a week. Should be about 80lbs.
