Based on your previous posts, you seem to be using the same cage as last time. I would recommend more foliage, removing the moss on the bottom, getting a linear uvb bulb instead of the CFL you are currently using.

He should get some more foliage, preferably live foliage. What type of worms are you feeding him? He looks to be 3-5 months, but it is hard to be sure since they don't seem to grow as fast at Petco from smaller enclosures. I've heard some things about Reptivite and its Vitamin A, but I am not sure.

Don't feed mealworms. I recommend using calcium w/o d3 for most feedings, and multivitamin and calcium w/d3 every 2 weeks. You can alternate between them every weekend, if this is confusing, I will elaborate more. make sure to change the dirt in the plant you get.

You can get the supplements online on amazon for cheap, and there are feeders for sale cheap online, like full throttle feeders, rainbow mealworms, dubiaroaches, etc. Would you like pictures for the supplements?

Nice catch. Perlite is not safe.

Maybe that's why the last one died?

Maybe from choking, but it is hard to say because we weren't there when it happened.
