Moses is around 6 years old. He's 13-14 feet and 66.5 pounds. His light is on a timer and his cage is in the living room. The timer goes on the same cycle as the sun. He is in a cage that is 6' long, 3' wide and 24 inches high. He has a hide box under the cage but I've closed it off for now as there is not heat in it. I use newspaper for substrate, feed him large (10 pound) rabbits and most times start him off with a rat to get him started. He has just recently started eating the rabbits without the rat kickstart. His cage stays around 84 on the cool side and around 90 on the warm side. He is ALWAYS on the cool side. I kicked the temps down about 3-5 degrees a few weeks ago and he got very restless so I put them back. I take him out about 2-3 times per week. Last week I showed him at my wife's elementary school. I'm sure he hated it but he's always been a good trooper for the kiddies. He seemed to stop eating shortly after I kicked the temps down. I did so because he was always on the cool side so I figured he was to warm. After I put them back he stopped trashing his cage and settled down but now will not eat. I think that's all the info ya'll asked about.
