So I got a juvenile at the being of September. Not sure on exact age.
I had him in a 50gal but upgraded this week to a 120gal dubia. First week we had him the UVB hood and bulb wasn’t in. Now I have a 100W basking bulb in a dome and the UVB hanging inside the enclosure. Basking bulb is about 15-16” above slate and 14-15” for UVB.
So anyway he is skittish but didn’t hide. He eats great with feeders and salads. He gets calcium 3-4 times a week and multivitamin every 2 weeks.
He started getting darker and basking less right before the upgrade. Now he is getting up at 7am and going to bed at 1-3pm. He was staying up till 7:30.
He did have some diarrhea poop a few times but it went away and he was pooping every day or other day. Today I bathed him cause it had been a couple of days. He looked huge too. He pooped but it was less digested.
I’m thinking it’s his temps but not sure. One of the Facebook groups I’m in said to have the basking spot 100-103 degrees, ambient hot side 85-90, and cool side 75-80. Is that the correct gradient to use?
Any clue what it could be from or is he lazy? When I went to get him he was trying to sleep then also
