hi my african red trap door has been out of his burrow for the past 3 days. i have had him for about 4 months, and this is the first time he has been out since the first day he made his burrow. should i be worried? i usually turn his light off during the day, should i be giving him 24 hours of light since the temperature has been dropping? what should i keep his day temp and nite temp at? any info about these guys would be great i have trouble finding care sheets online. thanks!

he might be a mature male looking for a female. does he have hooks on his front legs? temperatures in the low 70's at night and mid 70's to mid 80's during the day should work.

i'm sure she is a female. she started another trap door, and than last night went back to her other home. i started misting her more and now i leave a light on during the day and at night. the only picture i have is on my cell phone and its pretty blurry. she should live like 3-4 years, right?? shes so cool!!
