Hey guys,
It's been a long time since I've posted about my panther couple. My girl Abby just laid her second clutch of eggs! The first clutch are doing well at 2 months, but I lost one to mold, so now they are down to 14. Using plantation soil caused brown spots, but the spots are going away, and the eggs seem to be getting bigger! I don't know if that's good or bad. But as for the second clutch, I used a mix of peat moss and sand, and the second clutch are nice and white
. Also, she laid a whopping 24 her second clutch! 9 more than her first! Guess I'm gunna need to get a real incubator now haha.
I mentioned eating troubles in my title because I've been buying a lot of wasted food. My male Costello has had mouthrot for a while now, and he will only eat superworms. Hes been treated, and his teeth are now returning to a better color, but I feel like the hard shell of the superworm is still bothering him, causing him to eat less. Also, he ate about 1 a week when he was getting taken to the vet, and he gained weight? From 154 grams to 158? Weird. Now that Abby laid eggs though, I need to get her back on more food, but she's being a little resilient. She wont take superworms or crickets, and all my local stores won't get anything else cause its too hot (Arizona summer :/ ). Any suggestions on how to get either of them to eat? Ive tried a cup and free roam for both.
Thanks for reading!
