I got 2 babies 2 days ago. My female is doing great, eating like a pig! My boy however for the last 24 hours has been really dark...and he eats but not as much or as ferociously as the girl. hes young, only 6 weeks and 6 inches...his basking spot is 92 and i just added another spot to get it warmer, i just would like to know if this is something to be concerned about.
thanks

no they have their own cages, and he is just staying dark. I dont know whats up. Im trying to leave him alone as much as possible, but when i feed him he really gets freaked. Hes eating fine though, which is good. Im just gonna give it some time i guess...
Any other ideas?

Which UVB light are you using for him? What type of thermometer are you using to measure the temperatures with?
He is rather tiny & they are fragile at that age & stress pretty easily.
Great, that should be no problem then. The basking light is a bright white one?
Sometimes it takes some a little longer to come around & destress than other ones. I would give him a little more time.
