I do have it in front of a window, but the window has a window covering on that keeps the heat and cold out. I also have the blinds drawn at all times and I also mounted a piece of 1/4" acrylic sheeting on the backside of the tank. So it is completely blacked out. The left side of the tank...
Thanks ehdee6. ! I was 99% sure that it was “the big move” that was causing this. Happens to every specie on earth I would think. I just needed someone to reassure me. 😊
This care thread and being able to post in the same thread would be amazing!!! I’m going to fill it out and hopefully be...
I’m sure this is normal behavior, but it sure does stress me out. Probably just because I haven’t experienced this before since he’s my first. I’m enclosing a short video of his behavior, he does stop doing this a couple times a day to go though to fill his face. (which makes me very happy.)...
So do you live close by ?
I have some crickets, giant mealworms, wax worms and BSFL I just offered him some and he gobbled them all up! Lol I’m surprised as he has just been here a couple hours.

First pic is him seated belted in! 😂
And second one is him!! Meet Antwon!!

No, my house humidity is normally around 30% but it is cool and raining now so it's about 45% And yes I would think the basking spot would be much drier...I have the probe in the other side of the tank. Like where should the probe for the mister be suctioned? I moved the fan to the bottom...
Things seem to be working well in my new set up and I have no trouble getting the humidity up to 90% during the night. But then it takes at least till noon to get it back down to around 60% Is this a problem ? Also, I mounted a little computer fan on the mesh top so that it sucks the air out...
This thing looks huge and has to weigh a couple hundred pounds. I had to have my two son in laws help.
I think I have it fairly ready and hoping the plants grow fast so he has hiding places. Most of the plants are from my collection here so fingers crossed.
I put a 3” leca clay balls on the...
