Im about to pull my hair out! I had his enclosure perfect and he had a basking spot and he would even sit on his hammock right under the uvb daily which I liked. His basking temp is just not working its fluctuating too much from 97-98 so I added a 70w house bulb and the temp stayed at 108 the entire day. Just when I thought things were perfect he acted lethargic all day yesterday and hid under his basking spot in his sand box where he is not getting any uvb rays. So I moved his sand box out from under the log and now he is in that same spot under the log. His cool side is in the low 90s so I know hehas a place to go but if he keeps "basking" under this log sheilding himself from the uvb do i need to take it out? His feeding has decreased dramatically to maybe ten cricks yesterday when he usually eats more then 20. He started sheding his face the day before yesterday and i even bathed him but no more shedding. Im so frustrated I dont know what to do!
