[QUOTE="Lizard of Light, post: 1954348, member: 109463"] Ardie just hopped up his first stair step today, HUZZAH!!!! \o/ In other news, he apparently really likes bok choy because he's been happily chomping down on the leaves I offer the past few days. The greens are also pretty fresh though, so I'm actually starting to wonder if the reason he's so hit and miss with his greens is because he's particular about freshness since beardies can tell on sight how fresh produce is. Would explain why he'd be enthusiastic for the first few days straight but after about a week or so, refuses to even look at them (maybe he'd take a small taste but immediately nope away). He turned 5 months yesterday as well, and I'm happy to see how much he's grown. Over 14 inches long and 130 g. Lately though, he hasn't been as crazy about his dubias and these past few days, has only eaten a total 4 (only 2 today). They are also all at least 1 inch, so not sure if that could be it. He always had room for the supers when they were still here, lol! Speaking of my roaches, I finally realized I probably screwed up my plastic biscotti bin setup for them by not making my air holes more than slits at the top, oops. Lots of condensation inside as a result, so I ended up putting them back in their original container and getting rid of the rotting egg carton pieces. Had a handful of dubias dying so gonna be more careful. I did however order 200 more from DubiaRoaches.com along with dubia food and dew this time (had just been tossing them carrots) and see if I'll have my fatalities drop to none or close enough. Also included hornworms with this shipment and I hope Ardie will love them without going nuts like with every new(ish) feeder I give him. :lol: He's still not too into phoenix worms now unless they're solid black, but I was dumb and didn't seal the lids right yesterday so they spilled out in the cooler bag I had them in. I just decided to dump them all out and stick them in the feeder dish and see if he'll eat them again when he's hungry in the morning. Back on Ardie himself, he seems to be pretty energetic these past few days as well given how much he's been blackbearding and stressmarking while he stares at his reflection in the glass. I tried covering the sides with paper towel before, but it made zero difference because he only does this when he's too hyper. Though today, he was randomly blackbearding after his nice long stroll outside the tank that included hopping up one step, so I'm questioning if maybe he's just in the early stages of puberty. I've never seen him actually headbob or armwave before though. But he definitely is acting territorial if I don't help him burn off all that energy. Not much I can do, I guess, if he's still getting mad after long walks. He calmed down on his own later so I think habituating works when he's not full of energy. Welp, here's hoping for another month of growth and adventures. [/QUOTE]
