Only eating veggies and fruit

[Justd62]

So my bear die is still a juvenile (I think) and it’s fall here so colder weather. He used to eat crickets and sit worms but now won’t touch them. He’s only interested in fruits and vegs. He stays in one place sleeping almost all day…thoughts?

Please go over all the lighting in the tank ---- UVB coil or a long tube --- any colored bulbs--- surface basking temps-- how are you taking them ? NO stick ons please --- for him to be in one spot all day sounds off ---- what place is he staying in?

How old is he?
As an adult, 80% veggies
about 20% bugs is the norm

So I’m finding that he’s just super finicky! He’s also now eating super worms but like only one a day plus his fruits and veggies. He’s about 12” head to end of tail. Another peculiar thing is his head is pretty white right now…maybe starting to shed there?
