Thanks for your input, Sonya. I think Enzo is getting better now. He seems to like the changes I made back to what he was used to. I think a lot of his problem was stress, as you mentioned. The sand might not be ideal, but he seems to prefer it since that's what he grew up with. I think I freaked him out a little today when I tried adding heat above his tank again (see my message in response to Elizabeth) but after I took it off again he went back in his house on the side with the undertank heater.
