He's too cold...Savannahs need basking spots of at least 95-100 degrees, with ambient temperatures in the mid 80s.
that 72-76 is his night temp with the AC on...during day his hideout his 80-90 and backsing spot well into the 90's...so i dont know if its cause hes to cold or what...he doesnt sound like he's doing good from the phone call igot this morning he isnt even attempting for food anymore.
What is he using to measure the temps?
Only reason I ask is because some people still insist on using those worthless strips of plastic that they sell at pet stores...to get a good reading, you need a good thermometer. Step 1 in all reptile husbandry.
