If your parasite screen comes back negative it’s your green light to plan out a 2x2x4 cage when feasible I wish you best of luck.

I will second what I think @Beman said about sourcing bugs online as being safer than stores. A large reason is a lot of stores will cross contaminate their feeder supply by recycling uneaten bugs. They also may not wash hands between enclosures risking spreading stuff from one reptile to another.

My guy had pinworms and coccidia within a few months of me owning him. He either had them from the moment of me getting him or from contaminated bugs from a reptile store and I cannot say for certain which one was the cause.
