I have done my research on this lizard and finaly bought one at a reptile show in ohio. I have picked a nice healthy looking guy or female. He/she is now burrowing or sleeping under its substraight. I frequently check on him threw the day and he occasionaly pops out of his hole and eats. I havent yet seen him drink but he goes over there frequently. Idk if im missing any signs or gestures of somethings wrong but i feel its not. Im just curious of some more experianced advice. Plz and thanks

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new Gu. For now it's settling in so you might not see it much on top of that it's winter so they can slow down and be less active. As long as it's eating, drinking, pooping normally it's fine. Even if not eating just monitor it's weight, since they can go long periods with out eating and not losing much weight so if you see a lot of weight loss there's something wrong eating or not. For no activity sounds normal.
