Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) 18x18x36 - screen. The 12x12x24 glass all he did was hang upside down and to nudge at the glass door to get out.
Lighting - reptisun 5.0 t8, 60w incandescent bulb, 7am-7pm
Temperature - top/basking areas 85-90's, mid 80-75, lower 75-68, overnight 73-60's. Measured via 1 dgitial temp/hygro, and analog temp & hygro's in different temperature zones.
Humidity - basking spot lowest -40d before misting, 60s after misting. ambient
50-80. Mist 7:30, 12:30, 5:00. dripper up and running and manaul mistings if RH drops low 40's.
Plants - umbrella plant, bromilade, croton, peace lily.
Placement - man cave, near 2x2x4 cage. on coffee table, no ac vents on that side of room.
Location - North Carolina
Current Problem - Little Rosco has been home for 5 days. He drank when he arrived and have not seen him drink since then. He will not feed on crickets from cup or free range. I have seen him eat 3 very small just beyond pinhead sized crickets but i had to kill it hem and place in front of him. He has pooped 3 times in 5 days and it had a slight orange tint to it.
He does not move and sleeps/plays dead all day. I have tried to hydrate him via shower but he totally freaks. He moves very wobbly and will fall from the plant and just lay where he falls. Basically very lethargic and weak. I have been trying to get him outside in the am for an hour and let him move around the grass and hunt ants etc.. but he just sits and does not move.
Very concerned about lack of drinking and or eating. I honestly think he is dying and afraid to try force feed a baby and even more so due to my having large hands afraid to hurt him more.
CoCo is in the cage near him and eats and drinks and roams around no problem and has the same setup basically.
