Well I don't know what your plans are for him or if you enjoy interacting with your pets and would like to have a very tame lizard or just a display animal. I have my cyclura lights come on at 830 and go off at 9. This gives me time later in the day or early evening to interact with him. If his lights went off at 7 he would be going to sleep or getting ready to sleep when I get home and we would never see each other. I would move up his day time to 8 or 9 and have it go off at 8-10 at night. This will make him sleep later and also let you sleep later. If his light comes on at 6:30 then by 8 his body temp is over 100 and he's ready to go. You should also really let him out. How would you feel if you were confined to your bedroom. In my experience from what I have seen spending countless hours just interacting with these animals, they really do want interaction and you form a relationship/bond with them if you do the right things. They become very curious of us and thats when great things start to happen. I have even seen signs of affection coming from my cyclura. Things I may not have seen if I had a pair. But one lone animal with only you to interact with, it's surprising. If you want some tips on taming him send me a pm and I'll give you my # and can tell you things that have worked for me. In a few months of dedication and patience you could have a tame animal. But with a relationship that has no vocal communication your actions are your only communication. You have to carefully build up trust with these animals. You try to grab them or chase them around you are only going backwards in your attempt to earn their trust. The less stress the better. In my opinion relationships with intelligent animals can be one of the purest forms of a relationship. There is are no B.S., sweet nothings, lies, ect, you have no choice but to lay your cards on the table.
