Ok so I wanted to update you all. I got the temp at the basking spot up to about 110. I've heard this is optimal. Furthermore, he seems to be eating but not a lot. I'm putting about two spoonfuls of Ground Turkey with some egg on the cool side. He seems to eat a bit and leave the bottom layer. He definitely comes by bc I put it in a plastic dish and it's always filled with substrate (it has walls too!). I just haven't seen him poop or seen any poop thus far. I'm struggling with the humidity since its around 67% at night but goes down low when the lights get turned on. I noticed skin in the water dish which I guess is a good sign. Also, I can definitely see where he moves around and his burrows are pretty apparent. He seems very active in the afternoon but I don't see him (I have a 9-5 job). I'll be setting up a video camera to watch him live so I can get a good idea of his habits. It's coming today!
