Our lil friend Tyuru was chillin on his basking rock, and then randomly ran down to the floor of the tank and started, like, trying to eat the carpet?? He was like pulling on it and i think ate a couple little carpet hairs. It was kinda funny but also weird as heck! He did me a worry! I think he was still hungry, and went after a spot that had some calcium powder spilled on it (like a tiny bit that got rubbed into the carpet). He gets 3-4 calcium crickets a week now.
<<< 3 - 4 crickets per week for an adult is totally inadequate - he need much more than that . See this for good guidance viewtopic.php?f=18&t=236074
for a such a young hatchling , he need mostly live insects in his diet , and under 6 months old at least 2 meals of live insects per day (three is better) , from 6 months to 1 year , two feeds of live insects per day + some salad.

His temps and lights are as they should be (about 110, sometimes up to 115 in the basking spot,
<<< 110 is too hot , 115 is way too hot , see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=233516
and about 80 on the cool side). He's about 8-9 inches long, about 3 or 4 months maybe? Hes a young one.
He had eaten about 12 crickets and a couple tiny pieces of grape, plus one tiny piece of red bell pepper. Im sure he was still hungry.. he poops sleeps and eats well and everything.. mainly im wondering if i should be worried about impaction??
