I got him two days ago and he doesnt seem to be eating any of the crickets. Ive been finding them dead on the bottom of the cage (most of them drowned) but i make sure to put them in the vines when i put them in. Right now i cleaned out the dead ones from this morning and put fresh crickets in a cup and placed the cup in the vines. waiting to see what happens. he is acting totally normal, basking moving around, the works. just hasnt eaten and hasnt pooped.
