Hes still not sunning himself. Ive changed the set up once to see if its merely that he cant physically climb up onto the sunning area but he just doesnt seem interested in drying himself. Is there anything I can do to make him more comfortable? Hes still not eating either.

It must be going on 3 weeks now? He sort of ate, I bought some plants for him to hide behind and he kind of nibbled them. But still no eating worms or self- sunning. Ive been putting him in a smaller tank under his lamp once a day to dry out his shell and heal his rot.

Just make sure you don't forget him and also make sure the basking light is not too close. Very Happy
