Hello!!
We just got this new little guy from Santa, meet "Fury"! We have read so much on this site, thanks!!!! We cannot get this guy to eat! We read about relocation stress so we gave him a nice bath. He did lick water off his nose a ton Santa was only able to get mealworms so we'll get crickets tomorrow We have held the worms up to his nose where they wiggled and bumped his nose a bunch. Fury just ended up closes his eyes and shaking his head up and down rapidly! We figured that meant to leave him alone! He isn't very active. He will run around a bit after we mess with him but then goes to his basking spot. Is there anything else we can do to get him to eat? He did poop this morning. About the size of those worms, formed, dark-ish with a white tip. We saved it (gross I know) in case we should take a sample to a vet to get tested for parasites. We also cut a bit of a carrot up (no wider than the width of his eyes). He doesn't want that either. How long can he go without eating? We've had him for about 20 hrs. Hasn't eaten yet.
Our viv:
ReptiSun 10.0 in the tank
Digital thermometer 2 channel.
Basking side is 112 with probe on highest part of the branch
Cool side is 75
CHE 60 watt was only on last night
75 watt basking bulb.
Alfafa digging box.
Thanks! Let us know if you think we need to do anything else.
