We have had our little guy for about 3 weeks. Reptile place said he was about 2 months when i got him... so almost 3 months now? Not sure!
He poops every day other than a skip here and there the 1st week. I've never really seen him in action until today (lol). He actually pooped TWO pellets (or WHATEVER you call it). 2nd one fell in the plant below which i cleaned out, a little smaller and no white thing... 1st one looked like this.
I always thought it was normal... until Google... and now i don't know.
There is just too much nonsense online!! Can someone let me know? He is drinking, eating, and sleeping fine it seems.Food:
He mostly eats crickets. I tried mealworms which he ate, but he was darker than normal after, so he only had 2 of them and i won't be giving him those again. He ate waxworms and loved them. I dust his food every few days. I used to do it everyday but he had white crystal like stuff coming out of his nostrils, which turned out to be excess calcium.
Hydration:
I see him drink when i spray 2-3 times a day... he also has a dripper.
Sleep:
I check on him to make sure he sleeps and i wait until the very last minute before i leave for work to turn the light back on (unless he is up). He gets a good 10-11 hrs of no lights on the week days and 11-12 on the weekends (since i sleep in sometimes). He seems to go into the leaves if he wants to sleep earlier, and i check on him enough to notice and shut the lights off sooner.
He knows his cage. All 4ftx2ftx2ft of it. Plenty of vines, real & fake plants for him to get around by and hide in. I watched him to make sure he can move with ease. He moves around it a lot. I was going to use the false floor, but he seems like he loves it.
Also, he just started shedding today, so not sure if that matters? (He's starting to puff up in the picture, he's really not that big)
OK... RANT END.
