Hey my name is Ray, I just bought my new bd baby about 3 days ago. The petsmart owner says he is 3 months old but he’s like 4 inches long including tail so I believe he’s 1 months old. Anyways I brought him home in a new 10 glass with 2 stick on thermometers (one on each side). I have a basking lap that’s 50w and offers UV on one side and a repisun 10.0 UV bulb covering the whole back glass. I believe his new home is great (I’ll include a photo).
Anyways I noticed the first day he had like 1 or 2 crickets and It was difficult to get him to eat. I research everyday and watch videos on advice and I found force feeding. I force feed a few pieces of greens/fruit, followed by 10 crickets. If I wasn’t to force fees he would just lay under the basking lap.
He doesn’t bite, doesn’t show aggression or annoyance, he has his tail up every now and then, once he moves his arm In a circle which was cute, but he does close his eyes more times that I’m comfortable with which too worries me. Also has dark tiger stripes on his underside which I read is stress but I don’t know what from. Is It the new move, because he runs on the glass wall once in a while, the lighting, the force feed?? I also scheduled a vet meeting in like 4 days just to make sure he’s all good to go. Any help would be great please thanks.
