Thanks for the quick replies guys.

He is not albino, just green with yellow lines. Yea, it's kinda of a hassle to clean and stuff while the carrier inside, but other than that it should be fine right?

Is it okay to apply the heat pad to the plastic carrier? I thought it was only good for glass? I only put the carrier inside the tank today because I thought it wasn't good to apply such a big heat pad( its for a 10-20 gallon tank) to a small critter carrier. Will this affect temperatures inside the carrier though? I did make sure I put the digital meter's probe inside the carrier to make sure I have good readings.

He's been burrowed all day, I hope he comes out at night to eat something. I will try what Matthew said. Dropping a couple crickets inside to see if he eats them while I sleep. But is there anything to look out for? Am I okay for now and should just wait it out? Thank you Lija and Matthew.
