I got a redfoot 3 days ago, about 4 inchs long.
Temp high end 90, low end 80, humdity holds at 60%. UV light, Heat light, under tank heater, all hooked up. Bark much type of bedding.
He is currently in a 40 gallon Long tank with food and water.
eyes clear, no drainage.
He is very lathargic moving if picked up but not really on his own. He has not eaten for 3 days- I have tried butter lettce, clover, apples, peaches- nothing. He looks healthy just not eating. He stays in cover and buries himself in the mulch and stays there, sleeping all day and night.

Any ideas? Please help.

Thanks in advance,
James
