Mine used to gape around that age and nothing was wrong.
And yes you messed up introducing him to super worms 🫠
I’ve made the same mistake before as well. And a hunger strike lasted 2 weeks😩 During that time his energy level was low.
Be aware that too many dubias can lead to gout.
Grasshoppers...
He most likely closed his eyes during the ride home because of the low humidity. And his eyes were drying up.
I have a small spider plant that has the roots wrapped in moss that I keep inside his travel container. Helps keep the humidity up.
Nice enclosure.
I think it has too many branches...
Home Depot and Lowe’s have sheets of corrugated plastic that you can cut to size of the screens. To help keep in the humidity for your screen enclosure.
They are ok. My experience with them hasn’t been great. They were sparse and ill informed about lineage. I was also sent the wrong locale which I ultimately kept because of attachment issues.lol. But I’ve heard from other customers/breeders that they had similar issues.🤷🏻♂️
What locale were you...
I asked about his diet because eating a lot of dubia can cause a build up of uric acid = gout.
Those uv cards are not adequate.
I know this because that’s what I was using before I just got a solar meter.
How much does he weigh?
Shots and blood work sounds very intrusive.
I’m positive...
You didn’t mention his diet?
Do you have a solar meter? I’ve received Arcadia bulbs that were bad out of the box and some that lose uvb output faster than 6 months.
I also have 2 enclosures with different material screen tops which one filters out the uvb more than the other.
I would offer him...
Have you tried using a computer fan and put it at the top as an exhaust fan. Amazon has an infinity fan that has 3 speeds👌🏼.
Do you have pics of your drainage layer or even of ur enclosure?
