RETF sleeping at night?

crotalidking Dec 11, 2006 12:50 PM

I just got my first RETF at the Pomona show this weekend. Last night he was still sleeping in the same position that he was all day, is this normal?

Thank you

If you just got him this weekend, then you need to give him time to adjust to his new environment. Just think, if you were picked up by a giant, carted around in a huge vehicle and then dropped into an unfamiliar house, you'd be a bit shy as well. Give him a week or two, then see if he doesn't get up and move around a bit. don't overfeed him either, the crickets could be an added stress factor if he's not comfortable.

Do you know if he was wild caught or captive bred?

Thank you for your response,
Yes, he is captive bred
