Hello again and thanks for the welcomes! So I bought Bob from my local pet smart about a month ago, they figured he was about 5 months old, putting him around 6 months today. He adjusted to the relocation like a champ, I dont think it stressed him out too much even though I have two cats, they are older and more chill, hopefully when Bob is bigger they can be buddies Any way the guys at pet smart told me he was eating 6-8 cricks a day, i quickly learned that this is nowhere enough as he is a ravenous beast!! lol He is about 9" long, and super friendly and I could talk about him all day (another reason I love this site as my friends are prob getting sick of the daily updates lol) Here's a couple of pics and def more to come

Bob is adorable! A good thing to do for them when they're shedding is misting them with water or even better a warm bath. If you normally bathe him every few days great, but while they're shedding it's okay to give them a bath daily.

Thanks Bob doesnt know what to think of the bath!!! Lol sometimes he likes it and sometimes he doesn't!! I do bath him about every other day and today I misted him like crazy, he loved it and I think it really helped him finish his shed! He was a puffing machine this morning! By noon he was back to his old self! Hopefully he will come around and start liking bath time! How does yours like the bath?

Well my male Frank likes to puff up to float and close his eyes. Baths are more of a relaxation thing for him. My female Sunny loves to swim and be crazy and have play time in the bath. They are all different!!
