THanks. I am not using a temp gun, but I am using a digital thermometer with a probe. It's not a cheap dail thing, its an oregon scientific digital thermometer.

I see. I'll try to give him levels of heat to choose from. Right now he has 90 to 105. I put in a 2 inch thick basking block so he can get closer to the light if he wants to.

He looks fatter, and he is gaining new coloration, pooping daily, and even started to shed. So while I haven't seen it, I would THINK that he has been eating?

He has a water bowl that is more than big enough to soak in, and he does. I am concerned he is a little dehydrated. He is active and very fast, but he was a little thin to begin with from previous bad care, and although he seems to be getting fatter fast, his skin is still a little loose on the sides and when I pinch it it stays for a while before stretching back.

Should I soak him? I see he bathes in the water tub daily at least for a while himself.

And is it true that they can't see still water? That I have to make the water running like a stream so he can see it and drink?
