hi all im still having trouble feeding so i got my local reptile centre dude to come and have a look at my setup and he said everythin is fine apart from the substrate so ive changed it to orchid bark to create more humidity hoping that will make him more comfortable to eat and its not even been in an hour and it about 65% humid ill try and get sum pics up if ur intrested.

Watch it doesn't get too high.

What substrate were you using?

Personally I don't like Orchid Bark, but know people that use both that and Beech Chips, can't see how either will help or hinder feeding though.

Yes, I've used beech chips in the past and found it made no difference to feeding. But if they're not feeding it's worth trying different things to get them going, I reckon - hope he starts soon for you, good luck.
