Ok, I have a similar problem.
We are the proud owners of a 3-4 year old male. He is thicker than yours and we are it's 3rd ownere in 3 months. I gues he was eating well at his last home, would eat 15 superworms a day, lettuce and drink water. They commonly fed him by hand and always had him out.
We upgraded his enclusure from a 10 gal (he's 20 inch approx) to a 55 gal 48X12X20. He seems to get really stressed wehn going in there. Grabs the cage top and resists. We've used filtered sand ( I filtered it myself) as a substrate. Proper temp gradient for the first time for 2 months (but he was eating better with previous owners). More green selection from us including dnadelions. He's eaten only 3 superworms since ariving with us and none since we have moved him to new enclusure. He hates going in there too although it is much better than his last.
A couple nights ago when we were first puting him in the enclosure he threw up while resisting ( I was being gentle).
Any thoughts or comments?
