question?

i got my new baby corn last friday (Jan. 25), i have made no attempt of bothering him at all. I do check twice a day to make sure where he is and to make sure he didn't excape. Ever since i put him, he has stayed in his warm hide (86) and slept. Maybe he moves at night, but i haven't seen it yet. But anyway, i am planning on feeding him tomorrow for the first time (he has eaten before from the petstore). I was just wondering if it would be alright to feed him yet since its been about 5 days of settling even though he still seems kind of shy?

Im not an expert, but I would say wait one more day, and then make an attempt. If he is shy, cover the container youre feeding him in and leave him alone. Check back in an hr or 2. If he hasnt eaten yet, give him a while longer. If he has- yay! go ahead and out him back into his viv

It wouldn't hurt to wait another day. But I can't see any reason that you should. Five days is plenty of time for him to adjust. I think ShroomieGirl gave good advice on how to feed him. Just make sure he is secure and can't get out if you leave him alone for any amount of time.

ya, thats what i was thinking since ive already waited 5 days

i also forgot to mention that i covered half of the tank with a small towell to make him feel more secure

Sounds good.

Good luck feeding him tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.

trust me i will

hey, i actually just checked on him again (since i'm getting ready for bed) and it almost looks as if his skin towards his tail is going into blue.

do you guys think that that could be what is making him so lethargic?

That is very possible.

Make sure he has plenty of clean water until he sheds. Or use a humid hide or mist him so he sheds easier.

ya, i don't have anything to spray/mist him with at the time, but i'll dampin his hide a bit

thanks

If you go to a pet shop you can get some moss to put in. If not go to a garden centre and get a spray bottle.

Appart from that it sounds like you have covered all the bases.
