I feed him 2 wax worms and gammerus pellets. He would not
eat the pellets, but since Sunday he has been eating 1 or 2 a day.
He is acting normal, swimming, basking, and eating.

The light is close. It has been cold here, so I havent been able to take him outside. As soon as it warms up I will. I did notice yesturday that he is shedding his skin. Could this be why the shell was soft?
