Yes ma'am. I am getting the digital thermometer tomorrow. It will go in his basking area and the stick on will be for ambient temperature. I think the one basking bulb by itself just wasn't enough for him. Once we added the second and moved the uvb, huge difference. Fingers crossed he continues...

*UPDATE* Came home today to find him chilling in a pile of poo. So I removed him from the tank for bath time. While he had a good soak, I cleaned everything else up. After putting it all back together, I got a couple of pictures. Also, the extra basking bulb over his spot seemed to help over...

The cat has been around for almost 2 years now. We got them just a couple of months apart. He actually acts like he wants to play with her sometimes. It still scares me though. But, I'm determined to make it work. Also, We moved the uvb last night. It is now on the underside of the screen so...

I do like that cover a lot more! Especially with having a cat. She likes to climb on top of his tank and I'm afraid with the hinges that it may cave in one day. I'll add it to my wishlist. As far as handling him, soon I will be home 24/7 on maternity leave. That's my plan to make him love me...

I worried about the lighting too. But he has became much more active since getting his new bulbs. So it just doesn't make sense to me.

I wish trying to hand take him worked. He was very tame as a baby. I even brought him to work with me on a regular basis. Once he hit puberty, he changed. I've tried everything to get him accustomed. Placing my hand in the tank, ensuring I do my best to pick him up from underneath so he doesn't...

It's a 40 gallon breeder tank because he is such a little dude. There is no way to take the mesh off. Plus I have a cat that will eat him. Everything I have read says the UVB has to span 3/4 of the tank. Switching it to running width wise would change that drastically. My lid is also one the...

His uvb is a Lucky Herp 10.0 T8 15 watt, 18inches long. When he is on his hammock or his other stick in the center of the tank, he is around 4 inches from the uvb bulb. He pretty much stays in that position when he isn't running around. I wish he preferred the basking logs! I removed the one he...

I went back and looked at my previous amazon orders. My dumbass did get the T8. I'm blaming pregnancy brain. Although, I still doubt UVB is the main problem. He is 1000 times more energetic since I got him this new bulb. But, like I said earlier, the previous bulb was past it's 6 month mark and...

I took a few pictures this morning. He has his basking bulb, his uvb (its the tube kind, whichever one that is okay outside the screen. I can never remember so I always have to look it up at replacement time) and a CHE on the cool side that we only use during the winter. And yes, it gets cold...

I will work on pictures of his enclosure when I get home. Our thermometer died so I have a crappy stick on one in the meantime. Unfortunately, since he doesn't like being held, there isn't a way to get a picture of his rear. I just sexed him based on research I had done. That was quiet some time...

I have had Kuzco since he was just a few weeks old. He is now over 2 years old. Once he reached what I thought was full growth around 1-1 1/2 years old, he stopped shedding. Completely. Not once all year last year. It baffled me, but everything I researched said sometimes they do that as they...
