Hello, i recently purchased a sub-adult or adult Fantasy Pacman, 3 days ago that is, he hasn't eaten for me yet, and i think its because of the environment change, the pet shop caretaker said he wasn't a picky eater and ate every time food was in his face so i know he don't have a problem eating, plus he's a pretty decent size. How can i tell if he's too stressed, or just plain old stressed, will his color change to a darker shade if he is? what kind of remedies are useful to help with the stress, and whats the "average" time before they get comfortable? I have him kinda isolated upstairs (i read somewhere that it can help make him more comfortable quicker) where there's a lot less human traffic than anywhere else in the house, i need to move him into another tank as soon as i can because the one he is in doesn't hold the moisture too well (as you can tell in the picture,his temporary home is a screen cage) which may also be a problem since i have to keep spraying the cage about every 2 hours or it will drop to 60-70% humidity, BUT I want him to eat 1rst before i move him so i don't double his stress time (if that makes sense). ANY help or advice/info is greatly appreciated.
