Clapton is acting off today. We are out of silkworms, so I just gave him greens today. But I just checked the worm container and there are two white, oval-shaped balls in there? What are they? Is it an egg or some sort? Is it edible for him?

How cute. He sounds like a major ham! :ROFLMAO: Yeah, you probably will be helping with the habitat & educating about feeding & care. Have fun!

So far he seems ambivalent. It is easy to clean! sidenote: He was bad today. When I brought him out of his house he scurried to the edge of the bed and leapt off! Luckily he landed on some clothes that were on the floor. I sent him back to his room. :LOL:

I changed the flooring in the habitat from the dirt to the Zen Habitat mat. I am still awaiting Sir Clapton's verdict on the change. I think it looks good!

Here is a pic of the placement and one of what we are using. (Though I didn't include a picture of the heat lamp boxes.)

It's not a dome. It came with a different kind of lightstrip, and I had to switch it out for the UVB one. He has a 40-gallon tank. I ended up moving things around so I could go replace the light fixture in the middle of the day rather than that evening. The reptile expert I spoke to said he...

No, it is called Solar Grow. I won't be able to grab it till late tomorrow! :( I'm going to be worried all day.

This morning when I went to turn Clapton's lights on the uvb light wouldn't work. I figured it was the bulb burned out so I went & bought a new one. It still isn't turning on. Clapton has looked kinda sad today. I guess cause it's been overcast all day. So tomorrow I'm going to go buy a new...

It's hard to tell sometimes if Clapton is eating any of his salad. And he won't touch it if I watch him when he's near the dish. Today when I looked in on him, I didn't catch him eating greens but the evidence was there! :LOL:

Okay so Clapton started doing something Ive never seen before earlier. He had just happily eaten some silkworms...but then he began doing this little head twich, his eyes were closed. I got so scared! I didnt know if he was sneezing or having a seizure or what. It didnt look like choking...

I did read that about mealworms, which is why I bought the waxworms instead this time. I hope they don't cause him issues. What is BSFL? I've been afraid to order feeders online cause I read people's reviews saying they arrived dead. The reptorium didn't mention silkworms when I asked about...

When I went to the shop where I found Clapton asking about other protein sources beyond crickets, the guy showed me waxworms & mealworms. Both options were relatively small (I told him it was for a baby beardie). I got the mealworms that time. Today I went back & asked for waxworms; again I...

So Clapton & I had some bonding time today. Yesterday, I acquired some mealworms for him instead of the usual crickets. He immediately scarfed each one up. When I wasn't delivering them fast enough he almost leapt out of his window to get to the container. However, putting them on top of the...

It weird that I finally got around to posting that question & today when he woke up a big piece on his back was ready to come off! So the dots are almost gone now, nevermind. :LOL:

Quick question: What should I use to get the painted dots that the Reptorium put on him off? Or do I need to wait til they just shed off?
