Ok so after having his light for... dang I don’t even know how long. He’s definitely a lot more active and energetic, however I answered one of my own questions, which was about “stress marks”. I’ve been monitoring his behavior as an expertiment, because he would be white for a while and go dark as I held him, but the other day I saw him running around in his cage frantically(he was shedding so probably getting that frustration out lol) I noticed this: he went dark on his cool side, but the closer he got to his warm side the lighter he was, I went back to holding him for 30 minute periods and realized this: his behavior doesn’t change at all! In fact the longer he’s out the more relaxed he gets, around 16 mineutes he’s at his darkest, yet also his most relaxed. His eyes go droopy and he starts getting cuddly, craving attention( I used to think this was him attempting to hide, but I’ve seen him when something scary like my cat or dog walk by and he flattens a lot) also one time I think he perceived me as threat(I made the mistake of grabbing him too fast, shooting my hand towards him) he was obviously scared and used gaping and complete flattening, however he had no sign of stress marks under his heat lamp. So I’ve come to this conclusion: his stress marks aren’t usually stress marks, but him changing his color to retain heat
