Yes the night temps are a little cool, I dont have a blue bulb yet to help bring up the air temp during the night, thats the main reason for the drop.
His last feeding was with the breeder, Sept 12th I got him Sept 17th. I planned on feeding on tuesday, my normal trip to the feeder guy day.
He chills and only moves about a handful of times during the day that I see, and from what I see at night he moves alot more, in and out of his 'humid box' around the warmer part sometimes, but never really active like always moving just slows casual slumps to new locations.
When handling I have only startled him a few times, I move super slow, and always make sure he is gripping onto a finger, wrist whatever... holding him 5-10 minutes, once or twice a day. He has only once began an escape plan from me and moved faster then I would have liked. normally calm movements in and out of my figners down my wrists and such...
When I noticed his breathing he had just his head inside his humid box, its about 75-85% in there, with an avg of 85o. I later tried to pick him up, but as I slowly touched his back he started moving inside, so I let him go in peace.
