so I got him about 2 weeks ago now and have tried everything. Crickets, meals, supers, horns. He's only taken 2 supers and one horn in the two weeks. He's houses in a 36x18x36 with 12 hr light ccycle. Basking sites. Plant dripper that runs 24/7. Mister that sprays every 3 hrs for about 15 secs. Plenty of vines branches and foliage to hide in. Posted a couple pictures below that whee taken today. He's moves around appears healthy, just doesn't eat much. Any ideas guys? Anything in the pictures jump out at anyone? Thanks

You said hardly eating, so what HAS he ate?? I wouldn't worry too much just yet and get a fecal like Jannb said. I know that might be hard if he is not eating much though! He looks to be an adult and maybe he is still settling in. When I got a panther from another member on here he was a full grown adult and he did not eat one thing for 11 days straight! I guess he was just getting used to things, because after that he ate everything!

Have you given him time to settle in? Like hands off time? And I personally think 15 seconds is not a long enough mist time to get him to drink the amount he needs. Even if it is every three hours. I have a mister that goes off four times a day and for four minutes each time. The time minimum is usually 2 minutes, sometimes with panthers you can get away with a minute and a half.

He has a dripper set up that goes 24/7. The mister I use mainly to help with humidity, not as his source of drinking water. Yes I've had hands off. Just opening cage to change out feeders
LmaoTake him for a ride in the ZL1!
