How far are the lights from the ig? A heat rock is dangerous and has been shown to cause burns on animals! You need something that will project heat on him from above.

Igs also need very specific temps. Fluorescents do not emit much heat so you need to provide proper overhead heat that includes a basking area of 92-96 degrees.
Specifically what brand of fluorescents are they? Regular shop lights do not provide UVB and with 9 of them around the place...that would be very costly. If you didn't pay over $100 for your lighting...you don't have the right lights.

We're trying to help you...but we can't do that if you don't answer the questions. Please answer the previous ones in my last post.
If those ARE the right bulbs...then he must be within 6"-8" of them.
Please answer questions...

yea, knowing how far away from your little guy would be nice, and what do you feed him now? what brand of bulbs do u use? any vitamins or extras given to him? and i agree, get rid of the heat rock, they are bad for them! severe burns are horrible on the little guys. do you do anything for humidity?
