Halmaheras, being wild caught almost always have some sort of parasite load that can manifest itself harmfully due to the stress of capture, rehoming, and other factors related to transport. If you have an exotic vet where you are I'd suggest a visit. Also make sure your temps are 95+ at basking and humidity 80+.
