Make sure that area is very warm and let him sleep there? Or squirt him with water and trick him into climbing onto you. Idk what to do about the light thing
It depends, Are they going back and forth? Because that's normal! They mimic leaves to blend in a bit more and to make sure their prey doesn't see them!
I remember reading that mixing playsand and normal substrate would be good for a lay bin. One part substrate and one part playsand.
Any other recommendations? I have Eco-earth from zoo med and reptisand also from zoo-med.
I should also dampen the mixture in the bin right?
