[QUOTE="Axil, post: 2023829, member: 117612"] 87f is too low for a basking surface. He needs a way to get warmer so he can digest his food. Low temps can cause both lethargy and the poop issues. In a 40g you need a heat source that is concentrated well enough to get his basking surface to 95-100f without overheating the entire enclosure. He needs the cool side to get down to at least low 80s to cool off. What is his basking surface currently? Somthing like a dark piece of slate or tile will help hold a higher temperature in that area. Please confirm temperatures with a digital probe like Karrieree recommended to make sure your numbers are accurate. I would start with a 75w in a 5.5in dome, and increase/ decrease wattage as necessary. You can move his basking spot higher as well but his body while basking needs to be at least 6in from the bulb to prevent burns. Whatever food you get into him is not going to do much good if he can't digest it. [/QUOTE]
