Update on Spike: He is putting some weight on, he is up to 20 grams from 16 and his belly seems to be filling out which is nice since he was looking pretty skinny before. He is not eating on his own though. I am hand feeding him ~20 reptiworms per meal 2x a day and 1 wax worm a day. If I...

Thanks a bunch for uploading that video. My wife and I are going to give this a try tomorrow night.

Awesome thanks.

I have my wife who can help...I would love to check out a video to see a technique if you have one.

Thanks. I am going to see if Spike's appetite picks up over the next few days..if not I think I will get an MVB and try that route. So far he seems to be about the same. I tried to give him some Reptaid today but it didn't work so well. Hard to feed him with the syringe. I gave him about 25...

Well I moved Spikes tank setup around and got him much closer to the UV. I also bought reptaid and mealworms last night and am going to try and give him some of that along with baby food we picked up.

Thanks. How about the mvb bulbs? Maybe it would be better to switch to one of these for my setup. It will be difficult to get the 6-8" distance with my current setup unless I make something and change the setup in the tank. Any thoughts? If so what is a good bulb?

Thanks for the info. I am going to move him back into his new 4x2x2 enclosure tomorrow where I can get a better handle on temps. I put cardboard all around the tank to keep him off the walls and under the UV light. I will be getting babyfood tomorrow and will keep the size down on the...

See above. I will definetly try the chicken or turkey baby food and see if I can get some wax worms. Can a fecal sample be done at a normal vet? We have a herp vet in the area but he is around an hour away. I know of brumation but wasn't sure if babies went through it. I will check out the...

We have had Spike now since the end of September and he is not much bigger than when we got him. I checked tonight and he was 8 inches long and only 16 grams. I have tried feeding him roaches, crickets and reptiworms and he just doesn't seem to really be interested in eating in general. The...

I bought a light switch that you use to turn on/off lights and mounted that on the back of the tank. If you still need pics, I can try and grab a picture. Spike is only 8 inches long atm, he is a few months old. The enclosure size is 4x2x2. Cost can really vary due to the materials you...

Thanks for the positive posts. I really love the way the tank came out but Spike is actually back in a smaller tank for now. Due to his love for climbing, Spike would always climb the rock walls and sit at the very top of the tank where he wasn't getting is UV rays due to the way the light...

I recently moved Spike to his new crossfire enclosure and he isn't eating his roaches like he normally does. Ever since I put him in his new home he just lays around and hangs out. He doesn't seem to have any interest in food. I have been giving him a little baby food which he licks but he...

Oh so these are a good thing I take it?

Anyone know what type of insect this is? I have seen a few in my roach bins. I took 2 out and put them in a container to see if they turn into so something recognizable.

Well I finally finished Spike's new enclosure. I had him in a tiny 10 gallon tank for a few weeks since we got him while I built his new home. We love the way it turned out. Spike is exploring away already, climbing the walls and running all around. He seems to love the freedom. Here are a...

Awesome!

Looks really good. Good job.

I checked with Alyel and he does not recommended them. I ended up buying 2 handles and epoxy lastnigjt....going to give that a try.
