we think gangi is about 3-4 months old, and we've had him for about 3 weeks now. at first we were really concerned because he wasn't eating or drinking or anything, but then once we let him get used to his environment we saw him get a few crickets. but for the last 2-3 days, gangi has just been on the floor of his enclosure...he found these cave like areas under big tree branches where he can hide and he just stays there for hours at a time....he usually sleeps there too. basically since hes found it hes been on the floor abt 70% of the time.
should we be concerned about this behavior?
is it a good idea to fill in that cave area so he can't get there, or is it okay for them to have a spot like that on the ground?
also, we are kind of confused on how much to mist him....right now we are doing it 3 times a day, for about 3-4 minutes each time. is this too much/too little? and should be misting him directly? he seems to drink when we spray at least once a day...he sticks his tounge out a little bit and sort of laps up the water...and then he sticks his head up in the area and looks up with his mouth open---is that normal behavior?
sometimes he seems to shy away from the misting as well....we always use pretty warm water, which we were told they like.
any help/input is greatly appreciated.......
we just want him to happy & healthy
thanks everyone
