Did you adjust his lighting schedule for the day lights saving set back?

I turn on his light between 530 am 6 am. I have had him for about 5 weeks. He always gets up when I turn on his light. I turn it off between 530-600. He use to go to bed around 4 now it's three or 245. Do u think it could be the time change? It's light here till 430. I know I need a timer. Just worried.

How did he get a R.I.? Whats he housed in? Make sure your UVB light is still good. Ive had zoo med repti sun 5.0 bulbs go out in 2 months but its rare.

A respiratory infection is caused by too much humidity i'm pretty sure. But if he's in a screen cage and not a tank your good. How long have you had your uvb light? Also maybe bring him outside they like the sunlight

I have had the light like 2 months. My humity is usually not as high as I would like. I do have a dripper problem. It drips into a dish. But does get on the floor of his cage. But it does not increase the humity. I clean everything out each day.

I am wondering if am messing his schedule up. Sometimes I leave bedroom light on and sometimes turn it off.

He'll need complete darkness for 12 hours. If there's any ambient lighting from say a TV or computer then covering his cage might be a consideration.
