    cut nails too short?

    hey guys, so Lennys nails are getting pretty freaking sharp and long, they havent ever been cut before. Can I cut the clear-ish part as long as avoid what I assume is the vein that I can see when there is enough light, or only the black tip?

    Random beetle in tank

    Hey everyone, so this morning I caught a little beetle running around right before Lenny was about to eat him. Is it possible a transformation of the superworms? I know a few supers have gotten loose before. If it is the transformation of a super, are these beetles safe?

    odd....

    just thought i'd post this, partially out of curiousity, and because its ridiculous and makes me laugh. So within the last 2 months or so, randomly Lenny would significantly eat less, but then go right back to eating normal a couple days later. I eventually found a pattern. Anytime I change his...

    Respiratory Infection?

    hey guys...wondering if Lenny might have a respiratory infection. He seems to do the "gulp" alot, and I have searched that on here but no one seems to know the answer.
