He came out during the day every once in awhile before, but now he strictly comes out at night, unless he's getting something to drink, or I disturb him. I'm trying to get him back on rats, but he just refuses to eat them now, and it's difficult to get enough mice to fill him up, so he digests them quickly. He still destroys his cage, but he takes rests. His basking spot was at 90F, but I brought it down to 85F because he was burning off what little he ate so quickly between his activity and the heat. Luckily, because I did this, he's gained some weight in the last month or so. Is 85F still too hot? Or should I continue with it and see how he acts in his new enclosure?

As far as the cage decorating for him goes, what would be the best way to take up space with the least amount of materials? I can't seem to find any decently-spread plants around here, or even vines, but I could squeeze out some money and buy online if I need to. Unless I could use some of the bamboo growing around here? Just get the thinner stalks with lots of leaves, and overlap them or something. If I was more experienced with arts and crafts, I might make stuff out of styrofoam, but I'm just not very artsy and I'm afraid I'd waste a lot of material.

Best way to cover space with least amount of materials is obviously big materials. Big logs, big rocks, big caves, big water bowl...etc
