Well, I live in central florida and he/she is a year old and is inside a heated room 78-82 and has a 150 Watt UV and a 12 x 14 heat pad under the cage on one side under the 3 inches of sand, but he seems to have pretty much stopped eating or at least enough for me to not notice how much he did eat.he looks healthy and Im not concerned, just wondering what to expect. Thanks JB

I think it may be mating season. Male typically go off food for a while during the mating season and wander around a lot looking for females.
