I have done a lot of research on condas and have a good friend who has a large male green. First thing you should of NEVER bought a wild green. Always go for captive bred there very hard to convert from what they are eating in the wild to mice and rats.....try senting a ducking onto a large rat. at about 5' thats what he or she should be eating. The temps should be 90 on hot aide about 78 on the cool side. Good job with water dish make sure they can always completely soak in it. COndas also want very high humidity meaning if you have a heat lamp its hard to keep it high bloods adn condas aften wont eat if humidity is too low...try getting ur ambient room temp to about 78 that the conda is in and then getting a heat mat to reach about 90.keep this 24/7. hope this helps
