Hey guys! I’m back! Just thought I would update you guys on my little dude or dudette...still not sure! I purchased Pascal on May 14th last month! It’s crazy what a little over a month can do!
Food: Pascal went from only eating collard greens here and there to eating them daily along with mustard greens, cilantro, green beans and snap peas. He doesn’t seem to like anything that’s not green. Tried tomato, strawberry and red (purple) cabbage...not a fan yet. Sprayed with calcium of course. He eats crickets on the daily now, switched from 3 times a day to 2 now. They are gut loaded with calcium. I purchased black soldier fly larvae that should be delivered today so I’m hoping he likes that even more! Cheaper and better in calcium and hardly any upkeep! He also loves wax worms now as he always used to turn his nose up at them! Those are only as a treat though!
Lights are the Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO UVB Tube with a reflective hood. He has a strong basking light that keeps his his temps pretty much around 100 on the warm side. Cool side is in the 80s.
Still has his stripes as you can see in the photos but the ones on his neck fade the almost nothing most of the time, but the ones on his body have never faded or gone away. Is this an issue? He alert and active and I let him run around almost every night for a while. He LOVES this and doesn’t want to be put back in his enclosure. 40 gal breeder tank by the way. Has shed 3-4 times now in the month and is getting big! Don’t mind the smudges on his tank. My cats like to watch him up close and personal and leave evidence!
