I'm not sure how long he is or how much he weighs. I think he is scared of the bigger hornworms. Left one in there today and he wanted nothing to do with it. I changed it out for a smaller one - will see when I get home if it's gone. Such a waste, because most are quite large and he also is not...

Hi AHBD. thanks for the reply. I ended up getting rid of the ones that had the black on them. They seemed fine other than the fact that they had this black discoloration, but I didn't want to take any chances. I won't be buying them this way again for sure. I can't really buy them in the...

Hi, I just got a shipment of Hornworms from my local pet store yesterday. We are in a remote northern location and so they order them from down south and are shipped via air with their other live feeders and fish. This is only the second time I have bought hornworms, and the first time that I...

He had a nice big poo yesterday afternoon, but of course the vet was closed and they want me to take it in when it's fresh. He ended up eating a bunch of crickets again yesterday and took a tiny bit of water so I took his hide away again this morning, and I'm hoping he goes early enough that I...

I took him out yesterday and he woke up slowly while I held him and then I put him under his light and removed the hide, because he still hadn't had a bowel movement after having eaten a little bit a few days before. After a few hours he looked like his usual perky self. I offered him some...

Hi. I think you were right about it being brumation. He has stayed in almost the same spot for the past couple of days, but when I check on him he has his eyes partially open and sleepy-looking. I did take him out last night to bathe him because he did eat a little bit a few days ago and has...

Thanks! We sure love him... Merry Christmas to you too!

Day One Comfy Don't look at me...strawberry lipstick Whazzup? Let me out of here! Peekaboo! I can't see you, so you can't see me! Yum! I think I ate too much... Cricket belly! Pancake mode Happy beardie Getting big

When I got home from work he ate a bunch of crickets from the tweezers. I haven't tried again to put him in his feeding bin to see if he would chase them. Lately he wants them hand fed, the lazy boy! I was going to take him out later in the evening but he was hiding so I let him be. When I go...

My daughter called me earlier and said she was worried so she took him out of his hiding spot (he wasn't sleeping) and put him on his basking rock. And then she called again about an hour ago to tell me he took a flying leap from his branch (bottom part, thank goodness) to the glass doors. He's...

Another question: I went home today for lunch and it looks like the most he moved was from under his log to under his blankie, which means between his hide log and the back wall, with the blankie over top. He often sleeps there as well. Anyway, if this is brumation, is there any concern about...

Hi, So last night for supper he ate about 30 crickets, hand-fed with the tweezers, and ate a little bit of the electrolyte/water mixture. He stayed out on his rocks, cactus, and log until about 8:00 PM (his lights go off at 9:00 PM). This morning when I put his water and greens in, I could see...

When I went home for lunch my daughter has just finished bathing him as he had a little poo (yay!) and made a mess. While she had gotten his bath ready she had put him into his "feeding" bin and once again he didn't touch any of the crickets that were in there, but after the bath I was able to...

He hasn't really been showing signs of stress except when he freaks out about the sliding glass doors. He definitely doesn't like them! Just has not been acting like himself, between the not eating (because he was such a pig) and hiding more. As for the temps, the vet thought he may be affected...

Forgot to mention his age. He was very tiny when we got him in June, so likely he is around 7-8 months old.
