Just an update:
I moved Ganesh to the ten gallon tank that has a hide, fake plants, and a very large, shallow water dish. He burrowed right away and seemed happy. Then, because in the past he had...

I got a cage type fixture for the heat lamp, so it will be off the tank by about 10 inches and it is on a dimmer. Hopefully that keeps things nice and warm but not TOO warm.

I went today and got the 10 gallon and a heat lamp :-) tomorrow I will get a better thermometer and hydrometer and some plants for the new tank :-) I feel a bit better about things now. Thanks for...

My room has been staying about 80 with the space heater I have. You are right though, it is probably best to just move him to a 10 gallon. That way I can get his freaking out over with, lol! I had a...

This month I may get him a 5 gallon. He is still pretty small although he is growing fast and with all my other critters I will ALWAYS be able to use a 5 gallon when he moves to a 10 gallon. That way...

I actually woke up last night because there was noise in my room (I am a super light sleeper) and saw he was taking a bath in his water dish. He actually gave me a "do you MIND?!" look, lol. So I...

So I came home tonight and he is not burrowed, he was moving around his enclosure (and they are really cute when they move around!). I can`t find the roach I left last night with him anywhere, so I...

I overthink things a lot with my animals. I want them all to be healthy and happy and now I am feeling like I am letting him down big time.

According to the person I got him from he got him from a pet store as a impulse buy and then just thought he was boring. The pet store owner had him on sopping wet substrate and was only giving him...

I was thinking of trying to feed him mealworms since I breed those too. How often should I try to feed him though? I have been trying every two to three days.

Yes he gets sprayed anywhere between everyday to every other day. I live in Colorado so humidity here can be rough. But he stays humid. I was thinking of getting him a pinky mouse, just to see if...

So far I have tried crickets, dubia (which I breed), and nightcrawlers. He will eat the night crawlers with some coaxing, but I ran out of those late in October and honestly I have been strapped for...

So I had posted a while ago that my pacman was not eating. I thought it was taken care of. He was still reluctant to eat, I have not seen any of the pacman attitude I keep hearing about. I had to put...

Sweet set up! I had thought of getting a humidifier in my room, it never occurred to me to attach it to the tanks! The only two animals I have that need higher humidity is the ball python and Paxman...

Thanks everyone so much for the advice!

The CHE is on a dimmer right now, and yeah it is running about %50 or so and hitting the temps I need spot on. I also made sure to get a ceramic socket so...

Thank you. I hadn`t thought of that.

I`m in the US :( I have been using ZooMed heating pads. It is impacting her humidity, which is the only downside I see so far. It just means I need to spray her tank more, which I am okay with. The...

Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread :) I have to say I posted pretty much the same question on another forum for ball pythons because my UTH malfunctioned and cracked my ball pythons...

I am thinking about switching all of my animals (2 leopard geckos, cornsnake, ball python, pacman frog) over to a ceramic heat emitter. I am fostering a bearded dragon and she actually has one on her...

Will do! Thank you so much!

Usually when I put the moss in his tank it is only around his water dish, so not near where I feed him. Maybe I will leave it out for now until he is in a bigger tank. His aim really isn`t all that...

Oh yes he LOVES his worms! And he is eating from a tong so from what I understand that means I can feed him a larger variety of stuff like canned bugs and snails :) When he is bigger anyway. Right...

Thank you so much for the information! I actually just had an issue with a UTH that had been peeled off the tank it was heating and I think it must have been broken or something. It busted the glass!...

So I had posted a while ago about my little guy not wanting to burrow and following some suggestions given here he seems much happier :) Yesterday I actually cleaned out his tank and switched him...

So just an update...

I took out the large log that was in his tank and the second I did he started to burrow, which is awesome. I will be trying to feed him in a day or two.
