I thought he was completely healthy then I found out the original owner didn't even have a UVB light for him and only a 40w basking light which is not nearly warm enough! I am really worried. He was extremely relaxed.. almost as if he is sick... on the way home today he just sat on my car seat covered in a blanket the entire time and hardly moved. Is this normal?
Also, I just fed him and he only ate a few large pieces and started acting funny. I can't tell if he's happy or sick! First he was scratching his face against a little piece of fine bark sticking off his log, then he crawled toward me and started doing a strange shaking/rocking back and forth, licking the cage, and clawing at the cage. Does this means he wants to get out and check his new place out or is he sick or stressed? I just don't know yet I just got him today. He only did it for a couple minutes then went back and laid on his log.
Also he's in my bedroom where my (harmless) cat stares at him nonstop. Should I move him to his own room (I'm very limited on space).
Does he look healthy?
