heh, LeoLady420, i guessed you smoked :P (will cannabis smoke effect it much..?) and i also have my herp iin my room, but i have a window open most of the time now seeing as its starting to get quite warm, so i open another one. i think i'll try that towel thing to block half of the light coming into his terra, seems quite logical. also, i am refraining from picking him up now, and am only picking him up to treat him. bad news is, because im using paper towels as a substrate, he went to the toilet twice since friday night, and my mother being afraid of whats in the cage, didnt bother to change his substrate, so i gotta do that now. i mean i might put him back onto the calci sand, and i know alot of you are going to yell at me for saying so, but he wasnt impacted before. but i guess i'll jst mull it over.

as for the surface temp, im not sure what it is exactly. i think my heating matt is 6" x 11", suitable for a 10-20(gallon or litre, im not sure which one terra's work in) but for some reason, t-rex havent put the heat output on the box. :S

my dad suprised me with a visit to my uncles 50th, and that was about 400 miles away, so i got my mum to look after him whlie i was away (it was saturday morning and i got back at 6pm tonight) but i was out from friday night. my mum said she managed to get him to eat a bit of cucumber, and suprisingly, can get vanilla ensure from her work place (she's a care nurse) so hopefully he'll like that. hasnt eaten a mealie yet, but i think he might have eaten a little cricket i left in there on friday night as it seems to have gone missing, and one of the 2 stools looks fairly healthy, but still doesnt have much structure to it. im gonna try cucumber, maybe a bit of apple and banana, n see if he'll be interested in a cricket again.

colour has starting developing down his tail now, a very virbant orange coming through, but his feet are looking slightly grey. hope this is just the way his colour is. or is it related to any kind of illness..?

well, im going to have to change his substrate, cant have old stools left in there. but the worrying thing is, he seems to want to sit in his toilet corner, before it was the back corner (his old toilet site) and now its the front corner, which he's now sitting on 2 stools. he isnt dehydrated either, him and a cricket have been drinking out of the water bowl, with no interest in eating it...

thanks
