if i turn my light on to get changed to go to bed will that upset him?
Hes only really sleeping on his perch. (Is that the correct term to use for some branches of driftwood?) I had the perch up high so he could get his UVB/A light and his heating lamp close to there. I made sure to check that the temp was around 100F. ( I know it should be higher for a baby but where the thermometer is isn't in the warmest place he can get to.) So its probably a little warmer 105-107F.
I feed him but he only ate one cricket which i am kind of worried about. Should there be anything i should look out for?
I'll post some pictures of him later on tomorrow.
(He rocks)
.But yeah, I just want to make sure he is happy and safe
EDIT: I meant to also mention my Humidity is at around 40 how can i lower it?

I don't really know inches that well since i am from Canada but i hope that he didn't get to close to the UVB light. D:!
I also got some Repti Calcium dust which doesn't have any Vit D3 in it (I didn't read the label well enough when i bought it) I also have some ORANGE CUBE cricket food to feed my crickets with.

But anyways i must be off to go get it.

I moved the fake plants down away from the UV light. But is this bad to have (fake) Plants in his tank and is it bad that he was so close to the UV light?
Rozen":1400d said:Well I searched everywhere in my town and couldn't track one down so i switched to the 10.0 reptiglow. (AHHHHHHHHH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT REPTIGLOW 10.0 WAS WORSE! AHHH ;___; I FEEL LIKE SUCH A HORRIBLE PARENT!!!!) He has been closing one of his eyes and not the other one when he is basking. I work Friday and sat but on Sunday i plan on going on a road trip around 2 hours drive to go to a place where i was able to track one down!
I guess another question is. The 150W basking light "Sunglo" Only heats up his basking spot to around 100 (I used a probe to find out) Yet the problem is, if i was to move his basking spot up he would be getting to close to the UVB rays. Im really at ends wit on what to do! I fed him around 10 crickets today and he ate them all up! Then i cut up some greens for him and he ate them too! The only negative thing is i haven't seen any poop yet. The only thing that i can see around the bottom of the tank are little white things. I hope he is not impacted. Tomorrow after i feed him im going to try and handle him. What are some signs (Other then stress marks, because he has them all the time right now) that he deff doesn't wanna get picked up?
