Has he grown in that time period? Are you sure it is a male? Do you routinely weigh him on a gram scale? If so, are you keeping track of his/her weight?

I would recommend going back to the smaller prey items. Try to keep the prey items, no larger then the space between your specimens eyes.

That is not too bad. You do ideally, want a basking spot/site of around 100 degrees. That helps aide in proper digestion.

I am NOT a proponent of using hot rocks. Do you mean the hot rock is set to the low to mid nineties? Or, the ambient air temperature, in the enclosure is that high? If you mean the ambient air temperature that is way too high. The mid to high sixes would be a good ambient air temperatures.

Just make sure he isn't injured when he does that. What type of substrate do you have in the enclosure?

Can I ask why? They are a desert species. So, they get the water they need from the insects and greens they eat. Plus, do not need high humidity.

That is substrate I am NOT really a big fan of. I would rather use paper towels, brown paper bags, and such.

As previously stated, I would recommend a smaller size Dubai. Or, I would go for quarter to half inch crickets.

What is the cool side of the tank? Hopefully, the whole tank is not kept that warm. Remember, reptiles and amphibians adjust body temperature via thermoregulation.

Again, I would recommend a lower night time temperature.

I am sorry your specimen is sick. However, I think it is fantastic, you took him/her to a veterinarian. Is this a veterinarian that specializes in reptiles/exotics?

What medication did the veterinarian prescribe? How long are you supposed to give the medication? How often, in a twenty four hour period, do you need to give the medication?

Since, the medication or the increased size in the prey items you have been offering him/her?

How long and how often are you doing that? Can I ask why?

How can you tell? I.E. what behaviors does he/she exhibit that make you feel that way?
