Is he look healthy??

[Bbatteen]

I got Zeus about a week ago and I was just wondering if he looked healthy.

Yeah. He looks like his arms and legs are well developed and he's a good size. Nice and alert and bright eyed. Looks healthy to me =)

How is his appetite? Does he explore when you have him out and about?

Well he eats a little bowl of baby kale and basil and carrots and a little more then ten meal worms a day. He is a active fella. Is is 9 inches and he loves snuggles

Sounds like he's happy then. You may want to add some variety to his diet. Since he's still young he'll need lots of protein so I would consider crickets, roaches, silk worms, black soldier fly larvae, and hornworms as far as bugs go.

For salads, I'd rotate regularly depending on what looks fresh at the store each week. I like to offer 2-3 items from this list in each salad. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html

How many horn worms could he eat a day

Maybe a couple of the smaller ones. I don't use them as a staple but offer them as a treat along with the other bugs.

I had crickets for my ankles but they did fast so is there a way to keep them longer I feed them and everything

I had trouble with crickets dying too. Try to keep the bin as clean as possible. I found they seem to like warmer temps so maybe a heat pad under the bin or a ceramic heat emitter over it would help. If you use a heat pad it should be on a thermostat or the bin should be propped up so air can flow underneath. I also bought bulk small crickets and waited for them to grow which only takes a couple of weeks. I eventually switched to dubia roaches which are MUCH easier to care for.
