So I go my new little dude tonight. yayy! I'm very excited. Actually the guy that delivered him was lauging at me "you're like, GIDDY!" haha. And I am. Lol.
Anyways, he looks pretty good, I think. I was expecting him to look rougher, and acting more freaked. But he's not too bad. I was thinking he'd either be frozen in fear, or franticly scrambling away, but he actually seems surprisingly chill. He's not really scared of my hands, which surprised me, when i had to move him from sack to explorarium, then from that to new home cage. I have the feeling he's not "fresh off the plane", but has actually been hangin it at the wholesaler for a little bit maybe.
But he seems to be digging his new home quite a bit. He's been climbing around, checking things out. But not in a frantic way. I've seen him drinking several times. He shot his tongue out at the end of this leaf that was against the wall shortly after I put him in, must have been a bead of water on the end, it was very exciting to see that tongue at work!!
Hasn't been interested in food yet. I tried a few different kinds of bugs, placed them on branches near him. Cricket crawled right on him 30 seconds after I put it in there. Superworm dangled from vine, and managed to make it like 8 inches up the vine like that, dangling, and crawl on my little dude to the point where he was flinging his back leg, trying to scrape the thing off. I went j. And rescued him, he seemed to be like THANK you, it's about time! Lol
There's a slight chance that he may have eaten a silkworm. It was on a vine, I went to unpack my new humidifier, and now I can't find the silky anywhere, so he may have finally eaten it. I hope so.
Anyways, that's my update.
Now for the question: you guys have to tell me how to post pictures!!!
