Well it's been almost 3 month since the big guys have been inside for the winter... They all seem to be doing fine...except I have noticed Tony(9 YOA) appetite has diminished.... For the last month he only eats about 2 cups of mazuri and a head of romaine a day...That is significantly less than what he use to put down..He is normal in every way otherwise.. Always pacing and very friendly.
Temps are kept at 85 -90 during he day(basking spot of 110).. UVB bulb is megaray with lots of UVB output.. Night temps stay 75-78 with an occasional dip to 72... He never drinks from a bowl but he gets soaked every 2 weeks and gets a 1/2 a watermelon the week he doesn't get soaked for added hydration..
I have tried switching up his diet..to see if he is bored.. The only thing that he realy will chow down on now is carrots..
I also want to add that he will only eat just before lights out..(the lights are set on timers to simulate dusk and dawn).. He will not touch any of his food until the basking lights are off and the first series of overhead lighting shuts off simulating dusk..
Thoughts? opinion??
