regurging ATB help!!!!

psychoninja Feb 08, 2004 11:57 PM

ok here is the situation: I got him from my local reptile store, they said his previous owner only fed him once a month but they had gotten him to eat regularly and put on considerable weight. i have had him for about 3 weeks now he has eaten twice but regurged about 3 days later both times. My temps never drop below 78 at night and usually are around 85 during the day with a hot spot at 92. i dont know my actual humidity but i sprayed the tank down 5 or 6 times and i have a homemade lid for the aquarium that lets out very little humidity. Also i had him in with a larger female (that was with him in the store) in a 29 high gallon tank, i fed them seperatly.

my only ideas were that the big one was stressing him out or the location of the tank (a high traffic area) was stressing him out so i jsut seperated the two and moved the tank to a far corner of the house. anything else you all would do?
