Hatchling Member
Mario is 5 weeks, and has been with us for 2 weeks tomorrow. He seems very happy in his enclosure; basking, climbing, exploring, but almost never hiding. He eats 4-6 roaches every morning and evening before leaping out of his murder pit to bask. (Seems like too few to me?) He won't eat from my daughter's hand yet, but doesn't run away either.
He is wholly uninterested in the wax worms, but the BSFL arrived yesterday so we're going to try those with his salad Saturday morning.
I've told my daughter that he just needs time to get used to her and he is still a baby, and that we can try taking him out this summer. I TOTALLY hedged my bet on this, hoping that she'll be able to handle him sooner. :mrgreen:
What have you all done with hatchlings and handling?
