What are you feeding it?

What substrate do you have?

 

[kearth]

Temps?

They can go into hibernation during colder months and will go off food.

im feeding it goldfish and crickets. ive had him for about 1 year now. im using coconut husk.

umm the temp, to be honest i dont know. but i havent turn on the heating pad becasue it at the bottom of the tank, im need to rip it out and redo it to the side so when i have it on, it wont burn him.

First things first. Dont feed the poor thing goldfish. They are loaded with parasites.

Check the temps. he might be cold.

They will go off food a few times a year - Nothing to really be concerned about unless the animal is having obvious problems.......

Instead of a heating pad, you could use a light to keep him warm. Also what substrate do you have?

substrate: im using coconut husk.

food: i dont know what else to feed him. i dont like to feed pinky,rats, etc to him. i feel bad. lol

lighting: what kind of lighting is best for him. i know they say some lighting is not good for his skin. flourscent light or something

he is still fat and does not dig into the substarate anymore. he jump around and sitting on top of it. so im guessing he is in the stage of hibernation
