Hello!
First of all, thank you for letting me join your forum
My wife and I just rescued a RES hatchling that we found on Bookoo. The owner had gotten it for their daughter who lost interest. It was in a 10 gallon on gravel with no filter and improper lighting.
On the second day of owning him, I set him up in a 10 gallon with adequate heating, lighting, and filtration. Everything is perfect, but he's not that active. No signs of RI from what I've read. I got him to eat a bit on the first day, but he's not eating much.
I've read that it can take them a few days to adjust once you get them in the right habitat. Any words?
PS - I know I need to move him up. I'm moving him up to a 40g in a month.
