over the course of reading this thread a few thoughts occurred in me wee little mind... Firstly, if they're not fish why did the guy at the pet shop sell me this big thing of TetraMin? on a more serious note, is it possible that the heat of the of the cage is not penetrating the deep substrate sufficiently, thus creating col spots? What kind of alternative hide spots are available to the little critter? Are they located at various points along the thermocline of the cage? How are you determining the temps of the overall cage and basking spot? Whats the size of the hotspot and distance from the heat source? As for the length of acclimation...well, bear in mind the creature has been removed from the habitat it was designed for(by evolution, god, or Murrey down in R&D)and thrust into an alien ecology. Hell, a baby lizard has enough to be afraid of all ready("oh no...that was a dinner bell!!" "It's a COOKBOOK!!"then add to it a strange constraining structure patrolled by some giant hairless ape with a contact fetish..well...i'd dig in the leaves too.....
