Any suggestions on how to revive a feeding responce?

There should be no harm keeping him in the late 80s. I would continue force feeding him until he looks to be a healthy weight, then stop force feeding him and then for a week or two I would try offering him food ever 2 days and see what happens. If he's at a healthy weight then 2 weeks is a safe "trial" period.

Thanks john. I wasn't sure about 88 degrees being to hot because everything I've read says not to go over 85 but I guess that's just the ideal temp. I didnt think 88 was to hot myself considering that ohio where I live in the summer reaches well over 90 and our native frogs aren't affeted much at all and I know in the tropical climate of South America it must reach 100 or more during the day and be rediculously humid. Ill try heating him up to around 88 again to see if he responds and ill continue to force feed him. He finally pooped 2 days ago after going for 2 weeks without doing so and it was quite large. It apeared normal. It was a different color than when he ate crickets but its probably because of the amount of vitamines in it along with the soft food ime giving him. He absorbs water normally and pees pretty much as usual just can't get him to eat on his own. He still fallows his day/night cycle too. Everything seems normal he just won't eat. Ill do as you suggest and see what happens. it sucks that it takes them so long to recover. I'm hoping that the soft food I'm giving him has plenty of fat and protein to help him gain

As long as you're providing a temperature gradient (hot end and cool end) he'll let you know where he's comfortable.

I had the music playing last night and Hannibal apparently didn't like it b/c he insisted on calling on the off beat.

Grif hasn't made any call sounds yet. He mostly does a clicking or popping sound with his throat when we talk to him. One time I was wipping some dirt away from his eye and he growled at me. It was funny. That's the only aggressive noise he's ever made twards me though. He's really nice and doesn't bite at all. I guess maybe his conditions aren't right for calling or maybe he's to young I'm not sure. He does make a cheep sound every now and then. I've had him for about 6 months. I do keep a heat gradient so hopefully ill get a responce soon.
