I chopped up red pepper, cilantro, and mustard greens and he’s had a few pieces of the greens when they are close to a chunk of red pepper but he isn’t going directly for them.

So he’s been eating much better the past few days. Today I found his favorite veggie (red pepper) and he has been going nuts on chunks of that all day. Any time he sees it in front of him he chomps it. He’s also been more active, exploring his viv more and actually moving to the cool side once...

So we have made some progress over the last 2 days. Yesterday he ate more bugs than I’ve ever seen him eat (end more due to the BSFL disappearing when I wasn’t keeping an eye on him). Today after he woke up and was basking for about 2.5 hours he ran to the dish with dubias in it and ate 3 of...

He won’t eat anything from my fingers. I hydrate him by misting him a couple times a day and then I soak him every 3rd day to make sure he stays hydrated. He doesn’t seem to mind the warm bath at all, I do it in his tank as the tub I soak him in is small enough to fit in there. He usually drinks...

He won’t eat from another container. When I’ve tried that before he gets stressed and just tries to get out.

I give the insects his salad since he doesn’t eat it. I have BSFL and Dubias. He rarely (if ever) touches the BSFL. The roaches he will eat one if I grab it and drop it right in front of him on his basking spot and hope it doesn’t fall off or run away. But then he won’t eat another one. I keep a...

He’s still not eating a ton. Yesterday he had 2 bugs. He hates when anything gets put on his snout, when I drip water on it he runs away and hides. So I’ve been soaking him to keep him hydrated. Still not eating greens, barely any bugs, I’ve had him for a month now and still no shed. His poops...

I made adjustments, got new decor and the new T5 12% Arcadia light and fixture in. I mounted it inside and have it set up like this. His carpet is due for a cleaning but I’m really trying to not take him out until he’s less stressed. I’ve been giving him soaks every other day just to make sure...

There are faint stress marks on his belly but black lines in his tiny beard that have been there since I brought him home. The ones on his belly were darker at first but have faded some, they’ve been the same color now for about 2 weeks.

He has access to salad all day (mustard greens). I’ve put BSFL on top of the salad in a dish they can’t get out of and leave them in there (the BSFL seem to munch away at the salad too). I’ve tried giving him waxworms as well and he has no interest. I’m misting him twice a day and have a shallow...

So yesterday he did better, ate about 6 bugs during the day (which is a record). But today so far he’s only had one. We are about 2 hours from lights out so I doubt he’ll eat any more today. He also hasn’t pooped today, which is unusual. I can’t help but feeling I’m still doing something wrong.

I currently have a container of 1,000 BSFL (some are starting to go into pupae form because he's not eating fast enough). I have Dubia Roaches too that I'm picking up from a local pet store. Their smalls and extra smalls are really big though so I have some XS on order from dubiaroaches.com. He...

So I have to say that ever since I reconfigured the logs he has been perched at the top of the one closest to the UVB bulb and just snoozing (other than the 5 mins I had to soak him because he pooped and then shimmied through it smearing it on his belly) so I think we are onto something with the...

The mesh is pretty fine, it was recommended that I mount the UVB bulb inside as it would filter out too much UVB with the screen top. I made some quick adjustments based on your recommendation. Does this look better? The two pieces of wood are supporting each other so I need to get decor for...

The T8 does not have a plastic cover. The T5 is shorter than my current T8 fixture and lamp, it will be a 22in bulb and 24in fixture (my current is a 30in fixture and 24in bulb).
