Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Samantha, he just needs some time to settle in. Try to leave him alone as much as possible over the next few days. I would suggest that as long as it looks healthy, not to even offer food for two days. Make sure the warm side is about 90 degrees and he has a good spot to hide. Let him get comfortable in his new surroundings and then he can get to know you. LOL
You will both be fine.

I agree with Jeremy. But make sure you are measurring the floor temps not the air temps. As he said 90 degrees on the warm side, but anywhere between 88 and 95 is good, and the cool side should be between 75-80.

I also have another question.....
He seems to have little white spots like grains of sand on him, but even when I try to wipe it off, its stuck there. Can it be part of his coloration or is he dry? I misted him yesterday.

Does his color seem dull and dry? Sound like he will be shedding soon.

Yeah he is dull, i thought maybe it was just his color.
What should I expect with the shedding? How many times a day do I need to mist him, and is one of thoses moist box things necessary?
thank you guys for all of your help!

Moist hide is a must!
Is this a baby? What is the substrate you are using?

That's good. If he was a baby, I would say to use paper towels and mist the viv once a day to help with shedding. But since he's a sub-adult he should be fine with a moist hide privided 24/7.
