No change, at least he has not got any worse. I am desperately waiting for tomorrow morning. I haven't even named him as I am scared I will get too attached.

What is the temp under the lamp you have?

Tamie

The temperature is around 80 F under the basking light and around 75 F in the cooler area. We did have both temperatures about 5 F higher but they seemed to spend all their time in the cooler area.

I researched into their living temperatures thoroughly.

All I done was look in the yellow pages and I found a few.

I couldn't get him to the vet yesterday but he has eaten and has perked up quite a bit.

when i first got my leopard he didnt eat much, and once again when i moved him to his new home.

took nearly a month in each case for him to go back to his usual self, mine has just started eating again as before he went out he was eating food as if it was going out of fashion.

just easily stressed species, bare with em, keep them hydrated and give them some space to settle. soon be up and about and eating you out of house and home in no time

Thanks Ian!

That has made me feel a whole lot better

no worries, like you i was originally worried and went asking questions left, right and centre but now i know what to expect from them, funny species.

i was told by a tortoise zoo keeper that the torts that last the longest are the ones that are left to it to an extent and he has damn old boys and girls that people have had since been kids and now are too old to care for them, who have given them to him!

if your providing everything correctly which it sounds you are then just be patient.
