yes that's me!
hi all i'll save you all the intro and just get right to the point.
new baby albino leopard bought last sunday
the pics are in the "show off your leos!" section

i've noticed that he hasn't eaten since he came...unless i missed it while i was sleeping. but i've read that it's normal for them to not eat when they are in a new environment, is that right? im a bit noobish on the temps as well. the first night his warm area was 90 but now its 81...it's cold here in NY 67dgr and cloudy today. is it okay for me to use the lamp with the sun glo for a little to warm the tank up a bit? thanks!

Welcome to GF!!! :main_yes:

Its completely normal for a new leo in a new environment not to eat for the first week or so. At night if the temps are 81 thats fine, but during the day your warm side should be right around 92-95 IMO.

Welcome!

I usually leave my warm temps at 91-94 all the time, but that's just me, they seem more active that way.

I'll have my new leo for two weeks on Friday, and she hasn't wanted to eat much either...which is perfectly normal, it can take a month for them to adjust sometimes. It's nerve wracking, but once they feel adjusted their eating habits will pick up
