I got my blue trees and have had them for four days now. I haven't touched them and the temps and humidity are good. What is the best way to get them eating? I have offered them super worms and mouse fuzzes so far and they didn't take them. Should I give them time or be worried?

What are your temps/humidity at? How old are they? Were they eating before you got them?

Humidity is near a constant 80%, temps are 110 at basking spot, and about 80 on the cool end, 90ish on the hot end. They are 18 months old and were eating fuzzes, dubia roaches, and a variety of worms before I got them.

Have you tried feeding live dubias?

As a general rule all varanid species like it hot... try going up to 130 with your temps...
