ok day three-four of the geckos

[paintballislife]

Not used to fussy eaters i guess, i had a beard dragon and two snakes before so this is totally new. my two leos are barely if not eating, scar(the one who just shed) seems to be eating, i just watched him eat one with the cute tail wag and then completely ignore the other one right next to it, and the meal worm i put out for it just ignored that. I have seen him drink a little last night when i put him flat in his water dish lol. However, the other leo is getting paler (possible shed coming, since they appear the same age) but his eyes are a little sunken in, not like his bro/sis. I havnt seen him eat or drink at all. They never come out during the day unless i pull them out to try and feed. They all sit 9/10 in the cool side hut, even at night. except for the first night i have not seen them out at night. this morning 4 meal worms were missing though. I am more concerned as to why they are ALWAYS in the cool side. Am i doing something wrong? cool side floats about 84, hot side about 90-92 40-50 humid.

I tried soaking the one i am worried about today for about 10 mins, then leaving him in his own box with some meal worms. and nothing. He keeps his eyes closed alot too.
This is my setup

The cool side should be about 10 degrees cooler IMO. THey may want to cool off, its possible they are too warm?? Your setup looks nice by the way. =)

i cant really seem to get it much cooler. I dont have the AC on its it is pretty warm out.

Have you tried repositioning the lights you have??

I see the thermometer/humidity gauge is about midway up the side of the tank. Are you getting the readings from there? or on the floor of the tank?

 

[paintballislife]

i plan on raising the floor so yes for now that is where the readings are from. I dont see how 3-4" will make a diff with humidity.

It shouldn't much with humidity, however 3"-4" can make a surprising difference in temperature. Unless you are raising the floor tonight or tomorrow I would move the thermometer down to the bottom of the tank.
