Thank you for all the info. I know that he is stressed out and scared. I just want to make his transision (sp?) as easy as possible. She gave me his timers too so I will keep him on that schedule. She also gave me a bunch of food for him so I am offering the same stuff right now. But she said he can be a bit of a finicky eater. He'll love something and eat it like crazy for a month and then he won't touch it. She also gave me a list of what she has been feeding him. Swiss chard, parsley, collord, kale, mustard, turnip and radish greens, carrots, eggplants, zucchini, yellow squash, cooked yams, soy beans, green beans, little corn, etc. dandelion greens, chickweed, bananas apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, papaya, mango, strawberry tops. And ocassionaly a boiled egg. She didn't feed him all of this all of the time she would switch it around to give him a variety.

Also, I am actually his 3rd owner. His first owner had him for 7 years and his previous owner had him for about 3 1/2 years.

I am going to go to the pet store today and get thermometers and humidity guages and figure out what wattage of bulbs to replace these with.

So, should I leave him alone for awhile or should I try handling him a little bit at a time???

I want to put one of those little water fall things in his cage for humidity and looks. Can I just get one that is for looks from walmart or do I have to get one that is specifically for reptiles?



Thanks,

Jennifer
