it is in a 55 gallon.the preivious owner told me his staple was crickets and pinkies.the basking temp is always between 115 o 120 degrees.i changed the setup subtrate and cleaned up all urine and poop the second day i got him.i would say alot of traffic with my walking by the cage.should i put backrounds on thew side of the cage so he wont be nervous.
You say the basking temp is just right.......Where do you have the thermometer located in the tank? I would be taking temps from up high and low on both sides to make sure everything is ok for him............
Why don't you build a bigger cage for him. Or why don't you see if you can sell him to someone who will provide him with all the proper care he will need. You already are going to have your hands full with you nile.
