Well, the temps haven't changed at all for the past week and he's normally been coming out by around 10am or so. I put the UVA/UVB light on around 8am, then I turn on the heating lamp about an hour later (trying to duplicate somewhat of a normal sunrise, then the increase of temp). The terrarium is 95-98 degrees on the hot side and 5 degrees lower on the cool side. This is the temps I've had him at for the whole past week and he seemed to dig it.

He finally came out yesterday for a short time. He only ate a few ants, like 5 or 6. Then he went back down a couple hours later. Maybe the dietary change is affecting him more than I thought. For some reason, I feel he was doing better on the crickets. But we'll see. I know they need the acid in the ants. I think maybe it's a hydration thing? He doesn't seem to like the misting at all. I tried putting a really shallow dish in there. But he didn't seem to respond and then the heat evaporated it all. Then I was worried it was too humid...I know how delicate these guys are and I'm just trying to do everything right.
