Yes I do have a UV light, he has never been without one since I have had him. I need a new one though. (Bought one the other day, but I dropped it as soon as I got in the house. Man those things explode! oops)

His stools are ok, firm and formed. My family thinks I am crazy checking those kinds of things though. =) I was going to take him for his vet check when the weather warmed up some more, hopefully later this month. He has water available to him all the time but I never see him drink it, so I soak him about 3 times a week. He still doesn't drink while he is soaking, but I know he is absorbing it, he doesn't have many urates so that is good right?

His is in a 3x5 wooden enclosure, with a small basking area which he only uses in the mornings or early afternoon. His lights are on a 12 hour timer. He spends most of his time laying in his hay pile on the warm side (75-80 degrees).

I am hoping he just got depressed cause he can't go outside, and that nothing is wrong. But I have probably talked about him long enough. It's like talk about my son, I get started and I can't shut up! lol

Thanks for your help,
Shelly
