Yeah, thats odd that he still had some marks on him. Only thing I can think of is tat he may be "stressed out" with something in his cage or in the room. Touchy little guy! Shouldnt last much longer though, you are a good mommy!

I have no idea. I feel so bad. I wanna give him a bath and take him out so he can get used to me, but I dont want to stress him out more. Ugh. I hope its still just relocation stress, everyday the marks seems to get a little lighter. I want him to realize that I'm trying to make everything stress free for him. Theres nothing wrong with the temps, UVB, substrate or anything. I just hope they go away soon.

Id give him a bath. That shouldnt be a problem at all and it will hydrate him. I gave my baby a bath yesterday and today and he put his nose in the water both times. Babies need a lot of fluids.

Yoshi was stressed for a long time after i got him. Before i found this site, i'd never heard of creamy belly. LOL

Ah. That makes me feel a little better. I think it partly has to do with his shed. He's shedding his head and his back. I just feel like a bad mommy. Im trying to make his move as stress free as possible. LOL. I know what you mean about this site. Its taught me so many great things.

Ha I know how that feels it took over a month with mine to even see a creamy belly I thought he hated me! Now it's the opposite and he tolerates me lol. It's amazing how dark they get then the happy colors come on and it's amazing

 

[MeganKacey]

Awh well thank you guys for helping. I appreciate it alot. I ordered some Dubia so hopefully they'll be here Monday.
I wanna see Blaze's happy colors so badly! Ahh! Hopefully they'll come sooner rather than later.

Blaze is looking more and more adventurous daily! Zeus was pretty stressed today as well, just got him a new tank but his belly is totally creamy now! Hope he stops showing stress for ya soon!

 

[MeganKacey]

I think he is still afraid of my bf and I...we went out for a little while, and came back and his belly was completely white. But when we walked in, he darkened up.

 

[annieoakley123]

Ah, intruders!!! Things should be fine soon hopefully! Yum, duuubbbbbiiias!

 

[MeganKacey]

Hahah. I was so heartbroken. Little pooper. :lol:
Oh well, atleast I can kind of have peace of mind. He'll learn who loves and feeds him soon.
I cant wait to get rid of these crickets. Ick. :mrgreen:

 

[MeganKacey]

Oh, I forgot something. I picked up a digital scale yesterday. Weighed Blaze when I got it, he was 16grams. Just weighed him again, and he weighs 18 grams. 2 grams in less than a day, so he's growing. Eating a little bit better. I've been feeding him 3x a day...I think thats helping.

 

[annieoakley123]

Wow! Thats great! Gaining weight is an awesome sign! My boy is back up to 25 grams at his bedtime tonight....last time he was 25g it was the day after I got him after he ate and before his poop. I was sad when it went down, but it is back up! It's fun to keep track huh?

 

[MeganKacey]

Yeah he ate about 30 phoenix worms today. No crickets, but hey I don't blame him. He did have a HUGE poo today, so I'm surprised he gained weight. Haha.

Im glad Rugby is back up to 25 and still eating...but jeez Blaze is small.

Definitely fun to keep track. He sits on the scale like a good little boy. He won't let me measure him though. He also does ok in the bath, at first he'll cling on to my finger, but then he'll calm down. Silly little guy. :love5:

 

[annieoakley123]

You can measure him when hes sleeping! hehehehe

Rugby had 3 poops today! Ugh, thats something I wont miss...cleaning all those poops! He enjoys his bath for a drink...but after he had his drink he wants out but will sit inbetween his escpae attempts LOL.

I need to buy some more feeders next week!
