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.

This is going to sound silly, but try baby food. My little man loves it. Also try cut up greens, fruit. Thats all i can recomend because to be honest i don't know what else to tell ya. Hopefully he will start eating for you. It might just be the stress of moving and he just needs to adjust to his new house.
I hope everything works out for you.

Try some natural Sunlight!
Good ol natural sunlight is great for their appetite among other things. Just don't let the little guy get too hot. Also make sure you have a good basking spot in your enclosure.

get a syringe, mix some baby food and ground rep-cal or something similar and water, so it easily comes out the tip of the syringe. If you don't have repcal just use the baby food for now (1st foods, the small jars, it's super thin) and put a drop of the mixture on their noses, and they should lick it off, if they don't carefully ease open their lips along one side and squirt a LITTLE in at a time. This will give them some nourishment, and the rep-cal will give them some protein and good stuff they need, as well as this keeps them hydrated.
Be sure all of your temps are right. If you have any questions at all on your setup, ask. Use a digital thermometor to check the temps, don't use one of the zoo-med types that sticks on the side of the tank.

Another thing that helps is mist her. She will lick the water droplets off her head. It's sounds simple, but trust me it works.
