New baby is home!

Picked up Sully yesterday, from a local breeder, and I am in love. Overall, he's doing a little better than I hoped for in the first 1.5 days. He's got stress ovals on his beard/belly, but has been exploring his habitat, basking, and even ate a bit of arugula from my hand and a few BSFLs yesterday. Today, he's eaten quite a few Dubias (not quite the number I was hoping yet, but I'm glad at least he's eating a fair amount already).

I sat across the room from him today while I worked, so he could watch me and get used to my voice. He's very curious about me—it's so cute how they watch so intently.

hi sully!!! we've been waiting for you

one thing we did with sir henry to get him used to us was to just reach in and give him a little chin scratch whenever we went by the tank. it's in our office/classroom and we spend a lot of time in there. it helped teach him we were safe. can't remember if i told you that before or not.
