He will most likely be somewhere around the parameter of the room. Sometimes you can leave a hide box for him and periodicaly check it. Most likely you will find him at night. good luck.

Crickets in a bowl or a heat pad on the ground. That's worked for me with escaped P. picta and E. macularius.

are they eating? drinking? If they are eating and drinking but still losing weight they probably have parasites of some sort.

nope i put food in and they'll ignore it

hmm... what conditions do you keep them in? temp, humidity?
