Hi guys!! I was reading a lot of these posts and you all seem to be soo helpful, I was just so pleasently suprised to find this site and was hoping that you guys could help me with a couple of things I am wondering about.
I just bought my baby BP two days ago, he is in a tank thats about 2.5' by 1', I read some stuff before buying the BP and think i have all the essentials: heat lamp (75 watts 4" above the top screen on one side), water dish, a couple of hide boxes (one on the hot side, one on cooler), outdoor carpet on the bottom, and a long log (also on the hotter side). Im just about to buy a humidity reader, and the temp in there is about 85-90 on the hot side and about 80 on the cool side. I mist every day to try to keep the humidity up. If there is anything else you guys think i should have, just lemme' know!!
I was a little concerned though, all day he stays curled up under the log on the hot side, (like he squished himself in there), is that normal?? At night he is active though, and i think thats normal. Also, he is due to eat (its been over a week apparently) and to i tryed to feed him dead fuzzys, but he wont eat it! I left it in the tank last night and he still didn't eat!! What can i do, or what is the problem?!
I know this is long, and i could say a lot more, but thanks soooo much for reading!!
