He is 9 months-ish old and should shed less frequently, but since you have had him I am suprised he has not shed. Temps seem OK-but the dark colors during the day could suggest that he is cold. Do you have a digital thermometer? Light colors at night are perfectly normal. Your supplementation needs a little work. You need 3 things, Repcal with NO D3, with D3, and then Herptivite. For a 9 month old I would use the no D3 calcium 4-5 times weekly, the with D3 twice monthly, and the Herptivite 2X monthly-of course do not mix them on the same day. Do you have a picture of your little one and the set up?

thanks for the suggestion on the supplements...
i keep meaning to get a pic of my set up i will try to do that this weekend. the enclosure is all screen,and he is misted usually 2 if not 3 times a day for between 3 to 5 minutes each. he is active in hunting his crickets and seems to be fine other wise. he is slow on calicum i think which is why i give him more than most suggest. i do have the supplements listed,i may have listed what i have wrong.
