my Jackson is not eating but he does drink. I'm thinking it the UVB bulb I have but am not sure. During the day when the light is on he turns dark colors and will shut his eyes during the day. When I take him outside or turn the UVB light off he brightens up pretty fast and is alot more active. I have stopped using the light and am going to buy a reptisun 5.0 tube and a larger cage this weekend. When I get off work tonight I'm going to give him a soak and see if that helps. I have my female in the same setup and she is doing fine It's kinda weird
