He's doing quite well now. He was taken to the vet and was found to have an eye infection from a possible poke injury. I had been following misting instructions from a FB group, which turned out to be not good for my guy. They told me to stop all daytime misting and only mist before lights come...
As soon as I open the cage he heads for the back of the cage and completely stops drinking. I guess I can just try droplets on the screen and see if he'll drink off of there.

I use heat probes to measure temp, one is a...
