I just got a brand new baby yesterday. The people told me he/she is 3 months old. I’ve now found out 3 month olds should be way bigger. They are about the size of my pointer finger. Really really small. All that he seems to do is bask. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t open his eyes. He doesn’t drink water when I try to put some on his nose. I’ve put some crickets in his cage and he doesn’t eat them. He just lets them legitimately walk all over him. I’ve given him some kale and arugula in tiny pieces with some calcium and he doesn’t touch it. He also just walks all over it then goes back into his basking spot.
He has a 75W basking lamp and a 10.0 UVB bulb. With a black heat light at night. The cage is 95 degrees with it being a little warmer directly under the basking then gradually declines to the cool side.
I don’t have a humidity thermometer at the moment but I’m planning to go pick one up.
I feel really stressed that he doesn’t do anything and won’t eat. There is no poop on the ground so he also hasn’t done that. I don’t know if he is stressed or brand new or is sick. I can’t figure out how to post photos on this but once I figure it out I will post them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
