hello! Everyone. I'm a newbie in the uro world.Hopefully someone can help me.I purchased a pair of saharan's on April 29. In the shop they were in a 10 gallon tank and eating like piglet's,I brought them home,now they are housed in a 48"x18"x24"reptile showtank(90 gallon).my rocks are slate for hiding,my substance is burrowing sand. I'm running a double 4 foot flouescent with a 10.0 reptile UVB reptile glo.,my basking lights is sun glo, one is 150 and other is 100 watts.Both on the one side to bring up the temperature. my temperatures are 79-80 degrees in the cool end, 120-122 degrees in the basking area and 96-98 degrees in the hot end.My problem is all they do is hide,they won't eat, they don't bask they don't do anything.They are very skiddish. I've had them for 3 days and all they done is hide.I've tried to bring them out to the basking zone and entice them with food and they return to hiding. Could someone please help with some info I've paid alot of money for them and would hate to loose them. Thank-You
