Thanks, Julie.

Our AC is broken so it is hot and sticky in the whole house right now.  Not
sure of his weight, but he's a big boy with a fat tail; no major loss or
gains lately.  I looked him over and didn't see any obvious signs of
trauma.  He's in a 10x20" (will be moving to a larger tank when I move next
week) by himself with a log hide and a log to climb on and sit under on the
warm end.  There's not enough room for a separate humid box but I mist his
tank during the shedding period and he's never had any trouble with
shedding.  Temps are measured with thermometer strips at gecko height on the
inside of each end of the tank.  I just took a look and it's saying 81 by
the water dish and 85 under the lamp.  Should I move my fan into the gecko
room for the time being?  I did turn the lamp off for a while but put it
back on after I had him out to look at him this morning because he felt
pretty cold.  The girls' lamps are still off and their temps read 80
everywhere.  They are all in their regular hiding places and seem as active
as usual.

I'd say your cool end is kinda warm. What size is his terrarium? How are
