I have decided to observe him a little more before I make the choice of hybernating him. This is what I've seen.



Since I raised the temperature of the tank just a little he seems to be more active. He digs under gound but usually not deep. His head still sticks out from the sand.



He'll run around the tank somtime wiggling his tail. That's when I place some food in the tank. He pretty much ignores it and after a while just digs in the ground again.



He definatly drinks when I spritz him and place him in warm water.



The crickets I place in there are pinheads and I alternate between them and wax worms to see if reacts to any of them differently.



Another thing I've noticed is that there is sand in his eyes and it seems like one of his eyes is coated with something that is not letting him see. Could it be he can't see the food? I see him pushing his eyes out and I figure thats their natural way of expelling stuff from their eyes.



Thanks again guys!
