That tells me his basking temp needs to be warmer-- did you get it up to 105-110? That will help w/ the digestion - but since its the all in one I dont know what the UVB is sending out--- did you move the decor or the bulb?

Yes I got the temp to between 105-110 , it’s current my 109 in there and I just moved the Decorations to give him a higher basking spot next to the uvb

Put some small super worms and BSFL around 6-8 or so on top of his greens so it will entice him to the bowl --- then feed his insects later after hes eaten some of the worms and greens--- afternoon feed him his insects again -- I am feeding my baby around 12 or so small dubia after his morning vegies and worms ----

He ate his greens this morning, and a super worm I had to entice him to eat. His poop was back to normal no undigested things. I think the rise in temperatures is making him feel better, and could have bet why he’s not eating. He still has only Eaten one worm for the day but it’s better than nothing like yesterday and the day before

Thats not good --- he should be eating a little more than that -- I am thinking its that all in one bulb-- I want some one else to respond on this subject - I dont want to give you the wrong advice but I am thinking it might be the lighting -- those all in one bulbs to me are a hassle and when something doesnt go right its hard to pin the cause down - its just easier when the lighting is separate --- see what he does tomorrow or try and feed him again this afternoon and see if he eats more --- and then again in the morning and if nothing has changed we need to get more help on this

hey karrie update on dovah this morning I went out and bought a 150wt desert uvb bulb and a new ceramic heat emitter for if I need it. Is it okay to continue to use the all in one bulb for heat and the uvb bulb or just one source of uvb ?

I would use the two separate bulbs the 150 and separate UVB-- what did you get for UVB?
