a good idea is to get a timer. You can get one at HomeDepot. This way you can plug the lights in to it and set it to turn on the lights in the morning and shut them off at night. Mine is set for 7 am and 7 pm right now. in winter, you cut back the hours. Then you don't need to worry if you're out for the weekend. Do you use a log or some type of hide? Mine sometimes retreat into log and won't come out for a while sometimes a couple days. It's normal. Mine are active this time of year, but come fall and into winter they've gone in to brumation (hibernation). my one was brumating for 3 wks! Definitely get a timer so he gets the proper hours of light as well as sleep!

i forgot to ask how old is he? a baby?? how often is he eating? pooping? what are the temps in the tank? Does he have a good basking spot of about 95-100 degrees? good uva/uvb light??
give the details so we can help figure out.
