here is another, possibly better picture. any opinions would be appreciated

you're welcome

maintain the proper humidity in the Viv by misting. I also mist my guy a bit to help make the shedding easier. I have a mist king that does most of the work for me. auto misters are the way to go.

yes he's beginning to shed.

definitely turn off the light if the basking spot is too hot, which at 101 is too hot. uvb bulb should stay on. could try increasing your misting in frequency and length to get the temp down a bit

yes a temp drop at night is a good thing. as long as the temp doesn't drop to 50°f or below you're good to go

try changing your uvb bulb. my guy got them on his side. took awhile after changing the bulb for them to go away

my Viv is 24x24x48 and I use a 5.0 uvb bulb and my year and a half old sheds very regularly and has regular bowel movements. A 10 is overkill for that Viv and definitely ditch the red light I used a 75 watt regular bulb and works perfect and keeps the top round 75-83°f

a 10 really isn't necessary unless your Viv is huge. a 5.0 is plenty sufficient. he could just be using the heat from the bulb to get warm

he's telling you to get the camera out of his face and leave him alone. on top of being afraid of everything to begin with and in a new place. they really don't like hands and cameras in their home and face.

if he were mine I would just take him to a vet to be safe. constant feeding of the meal worms is not good for him either. switch to crickets or even dubia roaches. dust with the calcium without d3 everyday and a vitamin with d3 once a week or once every other week. safest bet is just to see a vet

look into mistking or some other brand of automatic mister. They are a life saver. my lights are on a timer that comes on about 30min after sunrise and about 30 min before sunset. Heat bulb is on most of the time to maintain temp and humidity but uv light should be on always when it's daytime.

I would keep the uv light on but if the basking spot is that warm I don't see a need for the heat bulb until Temps drop below what their warmest spot should be
