I've got the temps down to about 108º on the basking spot. The cool side still sits around 83º. ( the temp in the picture below says 117º but my PE1 Tempgun says 108.9º)
I just measured him and he's about 8" or so not including the tail. The last few days his eating habits have concerned me. Before, although he had completely quilt eating his greens, he was still eating at least 10 - 15 roaches per day. But the last 2 days, he would eat maybe 4 or 5 roaches then refuse any more. After determining his weight today, I realized I needed to increase the dosage of reptaid I was giving him. Because of not knowing his weight before, I was giving him the lowest dosage to play it safe. I have noticed today that he seems a little more spunky than the last few days and he also ate some of his greens today so that is a great sign.
So for his length, and seeing the pics that I will post below, do you feel he is too heavy? And what would be considered a healthy feeding? Should I stay with about 10 roaches per day plus whatever greens he will eat? The roaches I'm feeding him are NOT adult ones.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
