Thank you for your response. I do have a cannister filter the zoo med 500. I just yesterday brought him to my boyfriends house (his house is kept warmer than mine). And was able to more accurately measure the temperature of the basking spot, it was in the low/mid 80's before now i have it at 90 and the water at 76. He's still completely indifferent to eating.

So it sounds like i shouldnt be terribly concerned abou this so my next question is how often should I try to feed him now that hes not interested and approx. when can i expect him to snap out of it?
