I'm starting to tear out my hair as my little guy isn't really eating much for quite a while and unsure on a few bits like temps.
I've had him nearly two months now he was a greedy little bugger to begin with eating 8-10 a day but the last month decreased the several weeks this has dipped massively.
His cage temps are 28-30 basking
20-23 middle of cage
Feeding him medium locust and crickets
Few wax worms occasionally
Have tried butter worms and calci worms recently he ate some calci worms but to begin with now none.
He has access to a dripper twice a day and drink from it most mornings
Urate is white but quite runny at times along with kinda squishy excrement
Lighting 12 hour cycle of an exo terra 5.0 and 2.0 he has a ceramic bulb on top for heat.
Vents are on the back and viv has a pure mesh top
I gut load his food with romain carrot sometimes cale and they always have a supply of bug grub and water
I dust with nitrobal 2 times a week and plain calcium 4 times a week
He has two live plants that are ficus.
He fully shed two weeks ago
Humidity is 80% after morning mist dips to 40-45 while I'm at work then evening mist takes it to 80% again that dips to about 40 by the morning
Cage size is 3ft tall by 22inch by 19inch
He base no substrate he can get to as there's a waterproof box covered by zoo med carpet (this to absorb the moisture from misting and is cleaned monthly.
He poos daily from what I can find and has grown in the last 2 monthes but just reading everywhere they eat 10-12 locust a day and mine never nears that
Today he ate a cricket out the pot but promptly spat it out
He's always green and likes to come out on my arm and have a wonder about
I'm just unsure about what temps should be as I've been told to many things by different people what size locust and crickets he should be eating. Large are bigger that his eye span most medium are smaller than his eyes
I'm just starting to worry if he's underweight When I moved his viv around and put in the new plants he seemed to eat a bit more for a day or to.
Help me please
