I placed a thawed mouse on a dish outside his burrow. I also moved the water bowl just outside the burrow. The humidity on the burrow is high, but he is in one of his "cooler" burrows (in the lower 80's). He has not moved in 24 hours and has not eaten the mouse yet. I will check again in the morning. I have no idea what else to do. I imagine that a monitor is at least supposed to be active to the extent the he will move about in a 24 hour period? Even if just from a basking spot to a cool spot. I am not expecting them to be as active as some other lizards, but good grief! A tree sloth has moved more than him, and that is not saying much
