So after changing a few factors I think Roy seems much happier and active. I took him off heat and letting the cage above him heat up his cage and light above gives off some heat. His temps are around 78-80 hot side and 74 cold side. He really perked up when he got the coco husk with the increased humidity. He ate two small rats the other day with a much more aggressive feeding response. The cage is too small but his new cage should be on its way soon!

So as I was feeding him I went 'Oh it probably would have been smart to feed him in another container now with those chunks of coco husk'. Next time since I wasn't interrupting him after he darted out for the rat! I watched him eat both and no chunks but definitely safer not to feed in there from now on.

I think I'm going to setup the calico with something similar even though hers has pretty good humidity. I'll probably move her cage up a size too for more room to move around since she has been more active recently.
