what i can see is that he isnt really active, he eats poops and is active when i handle him, he lives in a 55 gallon tank with hides branches and plants so it isnt supper bare,

Nqa, But he is likely coming out at night since they are semi nocturnal! :3 Plus it may be a husbandry related issue! What does your current setup look like? Unfortunately gallons isn't a accurate measuring method when it comes to reptiles UWAAAH nqa

The graphs have explanations

keen tiger
#

but what does it mean needs proper cover i belive

stuck imp
#

Uvb usually depends on the mesh of your tank, But linear fixtures don't need a mesh cover

#

nqa

#

And you don't have a glass tank so, It wouldn't have mesh lol

keen tiger
#

ok so no bulbs in uvb?

stuck imp
#

No ;w; only the long ones

keen tiger
#

ok

#

thx for helping me

red sun
#

Do you have a heat bulb?

keen tiger
#

it died recently but i am working on one

red sun
#

An okay

#

I’d suggest a cage for the bulb since it’s internally mounted

keen tiger
#

#

#
