If the littel guy was eating before and then when he was changed he quit eating it could could have been the temps, and wehter you hibernate or keep him up, let me impress upon you two things. A ten gallon cage is sort of o.k., but if your going to keep him long term I would recommend a 20 gal. long at a minimum, obviosly cages cost.

Next if you read the discussion between fireside and I the point is that the animal absolutely needs to have a UVB bulb for long term health. THese lizards can go down the tube without proper lighting whenever you either keep him down or bring him up. So you may want to ask more questions or let us know what you have in the way of lighting.

I think the rest or a lot of the stuff you can glean from the web-site, but please if you have questions we are here and want to make sure the little buggar has a happy life style.

With HL's the husbandry can be critical to overall health and wealfare, many other lizards are forgiving to a point, but these guys you need to have your ducks in a row for sucess.....Cheers!!!
