Just bought my first green ameiva. I've had him 5 days now and he refuses to eat. He's in a 40 gallon tank, 4-5" of coconut fiber substrate, temperature gradient from 75-85 degrees with a 90 degree basking spot. Humidity is generally between 60 and 80%. I've tried giving him crickets, superworms, night crawlers, and cat food (turkey flavor). He won't eat any of it, and burrows to the bottom of the tank and doesn't come out unless I dig him up! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
