So I did post a little bit about Raji's new enclosure in the Beardie Tales. A few days ago I went out and bought a 55 gallon tank for Raji. I had him in a Medium Sized Tall Exo Terra which just was not working out for him. There was too much vertical space, not enough horizontal, and it was just hard to maintain temps how I wanted to.

He was just finishing a body shed when I moved him, and he hasn't been eating as much, and he seems to have some shed on his tail that is taking its sweet time to come off. He did have about 6 3/4" Crickets for lunch today, but his appetitie hasn't been the greatest.

I am going to attach some photos of his enclosure, an overall view, and then all the temps of hot, medium, and cool side.

I just want to make sure I am giving Raji the best life I can, he seems to be stressed out and I can't really put my finger on why. He's been in this enclosure since Sunday.

The enclosure and temps look good. The poop looks maybe a bit dehydrated. Was it sitting there for long? If not then I'd offer some extra water via drops on the nose just in case he wants some extra but otherwise I'd just give him time to settle.

OK. Sounds like he wants a bit extra then. That's fine, just keep offering and let him have as much water as he wants. You may eventually see it pass through in liquid form along with the poop which is OK. It just means he has a bit extra that he's releasing.

He seems to be a little more settled. Got him to eat 15 3/8" crickets with calcium on them. Made me happy :)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
