He was in his own cage and the window was closed. Im positive on his basking spot temps because I used a digital thermometer, but that was about a week and a half ago. The girls were in separate cages from him, but they were within his visual grasp. I thinks it weird that something happened to him and not the girls though, because all of the cages are near the window. I have also noticed that the ficus in his cage is also expiring, the ones in the girl's cages are fine.



The only thing I can think of is that the temps in his cage rise during certain times of the day and I'm not aware of it. I have moved my girls away from the window and they are doing great.



I just ordered another male from the same place as the first one, raging reptiles. The guy there had a few that were about 4 months old so I bought one of them. He was more expensive, but he should be more hardy, right?



Thanks,



Matt
