baby bosc not growing need help

[fuzzhc]

pll Hi there im new to this form as it was recommended to me earlier. I have had a baby bosc for 2-3 months now, he was 11" when I got him and is still exactly the same size. He is only eating around 6-8 crickets a day and occasionally a few wax worms.
His tank size is 4x2x2 ( I know its too small but shall be getting a bigger one after Christmas) hot side air temp is usually between 108 and 120f, cooler, end is around 90-99f, basking last I checked was sitti bf at 147f the other day although I have seem to misplaced the temp gun and humidity is 60% day and upto 75 at night. The substrate for now is I know not deep enough but ranges from a couple of inches at the basking to around 8 inches at the cooler end.

welcome to the forum.

Is there a lot of activity going on in the same room that could be spooking your lizard?

When little, they are exceptionally skittish about larger creatures in close proximity.

Thanks.

Not really. He is in my bedroom right enough but im only ever in it when im sleeping and his lights are out and getting up in the morning, unless ofcourse when im feeding him etc. He does tend to hide when he see's me enter. He was in a spare room when I first got him until last week, where noone would enter atall unless feeding etc and he has always been the same.

Are you trying to handle him at all? He should be eating way more as well, try giving him a pinky, or roaches.

[fuzzhc]

I know he should be eating way more, he wont even eat them when I first put them in. I have to leave them in till I come back from work and they are normally all gone. Ive not tried them yet as I shall need to order roaches. Being only 11" you think he should be able to handle anpinky? Ive only handled him a few times, once being when I first got him (bad info on the net said to tame him he should be handled straight away). Ps sorry for any bad spelling as im on my phone lol

Forgot to say I bought 3rd hoppers last night to try and hes not touched any

My Boscs were taking pinkies at 6 inches.

If they can fit it in their mouth, they can swallow it.

They also go mental for lobworms. Have you tried offering lobworms?

[Squirtle]

I remember when I had my sav. He went NUTS for pinkies and mice; he was little too, only about 8 inches when I started feeding him rodents. Is it possible to see pictures of your stuff (monitor, cage, temps etc)?

[BeardedDee]

Can I point out that the coolest temp is 90F, that's higher than the norm.
What size/type of bulb are you using?

[fuzzhc]

Not yet tried lob worms as im really limited to what I can buy from shops here but ill look into that and get some stuff ordered. How many mice per day would you say then and is it limited to pinkies at the moment? Cool ill try get some pics uploaded

[infernalis]

Considering we want to get some growth, I wouldn't hesitate to give it 2-3 hopper size mice a day, if he will take them that is.

Couldnt upload on this cause of my phone but heres a link, hopefully it should work http://s1320.photobucket.com/albums/u530/

Have you been supplementing those crickets? Im guessing that you must have some sort of calcium powder, but just want to be sure.

[fuzzhc]

I gutload them with veggies and Nutrobal daily
