Hello again everyone!
Ok, just a quick update.....
Bruce seems to be eating a bit more...he really likes the Phoenix worms...I can put 7 or 8 in a little pile and he'll ignore them but as soon as I leave the room he'll munch them all!
With the crickets....I watched him chase and eat a couple this afternoon so I thought he must be hungry...when I put 4 more in (one right in front of him) he didn't seem bothered, he even backed off from the on in front if him...slightly confused?!
A few more things I've notcied....
He likes to bask away from his lamp on top of the high dome log in the middle of the tank...is that because he is warm enough there and gets more UVB with it being higher up?
Also when basking he open his mouth, almost like a dog panting but completely still, it looks really cute, but not sure if it means something else?
The last few nights.....all around the same time (UK 10pm (lights have been on since 7 ish)) he'll go over to the side of the tank thats cool and get under all the fake plants, stick his head against the side and just start to scratch the walls...almost as if he is trying to bury himself? is this him wanting to go to sleep? should I get something that he can dig at to hide under?
And lastly...today he has been rubbing his face against the rough bark of the log...like he has an itch? I'm thinking maybe he is shedding his skin a little bit?
Again, thank you all so much for the help....this is getting more fun
Alex
