so yes im new and ive posted before I'm not seeing much activity from my gbe t stirmi its been about a month since he actually ate and I tried feeding him every 10 to 12 days but he shows no interest would attack tongs versus the food I did try a verity hornworm cricket and island roaches as they call them in the end after a day of living with them and fishing them out to feed my other lizards still nothing I fill the water dish let it overflow even thought of whether a plant waterer drip system but I'm not that lazy lol but because I'm so use to feeding my animals weekly my mind says I'm neglecting my t its not the case but I thought some words from others might ease it he seems healthy dunno about molting the legs seem to have a much darker tint then they use to he spends most of the time in his hole comes out puts hands in the water dish then right back to the hole just don't know if they dehydrate like others like I said I have done a lot of reading and even read other forms but each t is different and advice

Post some pictures of your T and its enclosure just to see if there's something we can see that's wrong.
