thanks for reaching out about Autumn. Reptile Magazine has several good articles. Pristine water quality and a well-rounded diet is imperative. Large 55+ gallon aquarium with haul out area, heat lamp for water and basking, UVA and B radiation exposure. A wide variety of insects including crickets, mealworms, earthworms and any other insects from the outdoors or garden, as long as no pesticides are used. Good luck.

Make sure the tank is large enough for him. Confirm proper environmental parameters as well (substrate, cage furniture, humidity, temperature, etc.). If even one parameter is "off" or if his water is dirty, it may cause stress and the desire to escape the enclosure.

Ok, I just tried my own link from the answer I just left you and it is not working. Google arav.org which stands for Association of Amphibian and Reptile Veterinarians. There is a link for "owners" along the top, with a drop down menu for "find a vet." Googling the website should work. I don't know why our links aren't working. Thanks again for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Check the temperature in his enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. If he isn't eating or not exposed to high quality UVB lighting, he can become calcium deficient which could account for the tremors. If he is less than 30 inches long, confirm a basking temp of around 115 F. If he is bigger, bump basking temp to between 125 F and 135 F. Multiple lower wattage lights over a larger area are recommended over one high intensity light source. Try to get him to eat and offer a calcium supplement. If you can get a liquid supplement, that would be best right now. Zoo Med and Fluker's offer such a supplement.Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte to treat or prevent minor dehydration. if he doesn't eat or if the tremors worsen, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles as soon as possible.

Thanks for reaching out about Carmine. Not sure what type of food you are searching for, a powder to top-coat insects. A variety of insects can be offered, and gut loaded. Vitamin D3 can be over supplemented so powdered should only be used once weekly. Exposure to ultraviolet B radiation is very important for the absorption of calcium in the intestinal tract. Catch insects outdoors, as long as your not spraying. Good luck.
