Wont use basking rock

[clossboss]

i made dude a basking rock and put it in his cage 2 nights ago and he hasnt gone on it yet! he needs to go up on it for the correct basking temps but he just sits down on the tile directly underneath his light. I may have to pick up some sand and put another coat of mod podge on and sprinkle some sand on for traction? has anyone else had this problem?

I think he is still just not quite sure that it's not gonna try and eat him, Silly question but have you tried putting him on it?

Hmm same thing happened when I gave my guy a wash cloth to sleep on, the first night he slept in the opposite corner of his viv then slowly each night he moved closer to it....now I can't get him off of it lol

Hopefully your little one realizes its an inanimate object and loves it!
