[QUOTE="xp29, post: 1995883, member: 114539"] Please dont feed spinach. It has calcium binders that will keep him from absorbing the calcium he eats. Calcium deficiency leads to metabolic bone disease. The first thing you need to do is get his habitat setup correctly. He needs good uvb, no coils they are horrible. Mercury vaper bulbs are not great either. He needs a long tube that is 2/3 the length of his habitat. Its best if its inside but can go above the screen if you get a stronger bulb. 10 to 15 inches is the distance from him. You need to over lap that with his basking so he can get both at once. At 2 years old his baskibg temp should be 100 to 103 ish measured with a digital probe. The infrared thermometer are not accurate enough, you will be off on his temps if you use those. Their light and heat have to be correct or you will struggle with eating, behavior, and overall health. Staple greens are collard, mustard, turnip, and kale. You can give fruit and Berries as treats. None citrus. Can also give green beans, peas, and carrots occasionally. Staple feeders, dubias, superworms,crickets silkworms, and hornworms (as a treat). Be careful with the hornworms they will very quickly become their favorite and it will be hard to get them to eat the other stuff. Keep him hydrated. If he won't drink on his own you can use an eye dropper or syringe to drop water on his nose. If he still refuses add a little none citrus fruit punch to the water. I hope this helps, if you have other questions please don't hesitate to ask, especially about the lightning. Its absolutely critical to get that right. [/QUOTE]
