I adopted him just a few days ago and the mother of my closest friend, Maz Dei'jai, decided to name him Iggy after the godfather of punk himself, Iggy Pop
He is 4.5 months old and highly suspected to be a male. He LOVES water and instantly calms the moment he is in it and recongizes it for what it is, but otherwise panicks getting into it, silly thing! As such, I give him a daily bath. From what I can determine so far after a few days of caring for him, he seems to enjoy squash the most out of all the veggies and is attracted towards yellow/creamish coloured veggies and fruits, otherwise he'll instantly gobble up any cricket that comes within his range of vision (provided he's not full). Iggy's a gentle eater, not voracious or that. I've tried to bribe him into eating more veggies by putting a silkworm or two into them, but the little cheeky brat usually manages to eat said silkworm with the smallest amount of veggies possible.
Iggy has a most curious nature about him and loves to explore any room he is in, given that he has the freedom and trust to do so. Thankfully, because we have cats within the house (two of them), he doesn't seem to recongize what they are. I do usually lock them outside of any rooms he is present in if he's outside of his vivarium, unless there's other individuals present to offer help on hand with minding the cats.
I've found a vet just up the street who's willing to take Iggy under his wing, and said vet offers VERY fair prices, thank goodness. He's extremely gruff and straight to the point, which I LOVE. But with that said, I'm getting wellness check done on Iggy next pay-day along with a fecal exam at the same time to check for anything like harmful parasites that may be present.
And finally, have a photo of him being a derp:
