I bought a juvenile RETF from my local Repticon 5 days ago, and I’ve been really stressing about him. He’s only maybe an inch and a half long to 2 inches, and he’s in a temporary 12x12x18 which will be upgraded as soon as I know he’s healthy. He’s got a cork round, grapevine, and a broad-leaved large fake plant with a large shallow water dish on paper towels. The temp is low seventies, and I’ve had conflicting opinions on the humidity but I keep it in the 60% range. The past four days I would check on him before I went to bed and wake up the next morning to find him in the exact spot or close to where I last saw him, and it’s really worrying. I threw in a few pinheads and haven’t been able to find any except one that drowned, but I don’t want to do a thorough search bc it’d stress him out. The only night where I saw he was active was when he was in a 60 gallon tank with a pair of D. Tinc “Azeureus”, but I thought it would be better to keep him out of it once I found the conflicting stuff on humidity and realized how difficult it’d be to feed him. If anyone has any suggestions please help
Keeping it separate from your azeureus is better. And sometimes retfs are like that, they dont wake up for 1-2 nights, or move back to the same spot.

I would definitely keep it separate. Not sure if the inactivity would mean sickness, especially since it's new. Maybe keep an eye on it, see if activity improves or there are signs that it was moving around in the dark.
