hi all, ive got a little situation on my hands. my gecko stewie has started to act completely different than he has ever acted. anytime i open the cage to feed him or clean up the cage, he chirps/screeches, and runs to his hide. hes what i guess to be around 1 yr 7 months old, and he appears a tremper albino. he is in a 20L tank by himself. the only things i can think of that would make him upset like this would be that i changed his tank slightly when i put an uth on the tank bottom and bought one of those 2-piece rock hides( which he uses the upstairs ledge as the restroom :main_no: boys will be boys i guess). he was being heated with a light , but now i have it there in case its needed, but i'm not using it. the hottest spot is around 95 degrees.he also lays where the uth is, i seen on the directions that it means that it's too cold, but i didnt think it should be warmer than 95, but there is the air temp to think about too i suppose. i don't want to get him stressed enough to drop his tail. i havent held him but maybe once in about two weeks because of him getting upset when i go in the cage. i've never seen him act this jumpy before, could it be possibly because of mating season(maybe a dumb question, but just thought i'd throw it out ther)? i have no other leos as of right now either, just thought i'd put that in as well. if i've posted this in the wrong place, i apologize, i thought this was the only place this should go. anyone have any ideas? :main_robin: thanks in advance.
it's probably just that he needs time to adjust, like you said cheaton, but i just thought i should ask about it, to see if there was any reason for concern. thanks
