Keeping the temps up is vital to there digestion. Keep the basking spot at 120 F at least. I wouldnt go any higher then 135 F. As well the tank shouldnt get colder than 80 anywhere.

As for feeding, keep him on as many insects as you can. In the wild this will make up most of there diet. You CAN feed them mice and rats but this doesnt give them a great life span.

Best diet for them is a seafood mix, lots of crickets/silks/hornworms are great/mealworms etc. It will be more costly but will benefit him forsure. Ocassionally, something like once a week, you can give him/her a couple hairless rodents. The hair can cause them to become impacted, so its just easier on there stomachs to use rodents with no hair, ex pinkies. You can also use chicken giblits or a new one ive heard that is ok occassionally is chicken necks

Good luck with your guy. Is it possible to get an enclosure shot?
