First outdoor adventure...Technically second, she didn't enjoy being our there the first time (3/8)
Scary moment later that afternoon...two fingernails/maybe part of finger got ripped off, bruised back foot, but still okay (Bandage is off, don't worry)
You call that food? (3/12)
Post-50+ dubia frenzy, tail shed finishing up again, arms and legs starting (3/16)
She's now 10" & 60 grams (6 weeks), her colors are coming in nicely
Her hand is looking okay, the loose nail is rotting off now. She is a little hesitant to put her weight on it at all times so it's a little bit sensitive. Her back foot seems 'thicker' than the one that wasn't hurt in the branch accident...doesn't seem bothered by it though.
So far so good! I just got a cheap leash off of amazon so that was pretty cool, now I can have her run around without being completely scared of her running off somewhere.
She's crushing 50+ bugs a day...frantically buying more and more dubias lol. Ordered a sample of medium-sized ones so if those work maybe those will fill her up quicker
Cute little guy, what happened to his feet?
I remember when my guy was little chillin on my bed, I went to lean back then felt something shaking and I was squishing his little hand with my finger! No injuries or issues though lol. Felt so bad

A very large branch fell from a tree nearly on top of her. Took off one of her nails on her front foot completely, second nail is falling off slowly. And (bruised) her back foot, not sure, it seems a little bit swollen
Picked up a neat little leash for pretty cheap off of Amazon...as of 3/23, Rey is now 10.5" and 74 grams. (Up 14 grams and .6" in 7 days). Full body shed minus tail, her nail fell off after hanging on for a few days, hand seems to be recovering well otherwise. She crushed I think 80 dubias today.
I thought it might've been a little bit chilly, but I wanted her to have some time outside of the tank while I was writing some essays...improv'ed and used tape and a command hook to setup a heat lamp lol. Better than nothing, right?
It's crazy how mesmerized they can get looking out a window...any time she's out of the tank she runs around like a madman but she hasn't moved at all since putting her in that spot.
Looks like she may loose the tip of another finger, retained shed on the finger that looks like it's starting to constrict the very end of the finger. I've given baths hoping it'll let loose before the finger falls off but may be a little bit too late. Oh well...3 down, still 17 nails left!
Darwin is the same way with the window. Runs around like a crazy man but will sit still looking out the window all day. I'm glad to see she has some window time. That's too bad about her other finger. Try putting some plain aloe on it and see if that loosens the skin a bit.
I've had her for 9 months now, just guessing she was 3 months when I got her
She's on the smaller end of the length spectrum (17.5" or so)
Certainly on the upper side of the weight spectrum I'd say (625g)
But she appears to be happy, I've transitioned her to salad during the week, and bugs/salad during the weekend. Wondering if she'll be ready to brumate at any point
Had to include a picture of her trying to sleep but me interfering
