This is Pat:
I got him at the SD show from Mike at FLChams. I am not 100% on his age but I think he is 9 weeks old now. I had him in a screen cage and couldn't tell if he was eating. He lost some weight and I took mikes advice and put him into a rubbermaid like he had been growing up in. At first I wasn't sure if he was eating because he wouldn't eat with me anywhere in site (and I forgot to count the crickets). Well Sunday morning I weighed him, 3.3g, he was 2.8 the weekend before. He was back to his original weight when I first got him:
This is his enclosure:
Yes that is a Herpmist misting head. He gets four, three minute mistings a day. Thinking I am going to step it up a bit.(I have 2 veileds (11months) and one panther (3 months old) on the same misting chain/cycle.
Here we are to the good stuff. Today when I woke up and fed the chams, Pat decided he didn't mind me watching him eat..... or he was too hungry to care. I dumped the crickets in and BAM! He had one before I could get the camera rolling. He ate six in a row... I missed the first cricket because he ate it as soon as it landed near him. The vids are in order of which he ate them and sorry, had to shoot through the Rubbermaid. I hope it isn't too blurry
I can't wait to watch him grow! You can see he likes his perch. Spends a lot of time there basking and as you can see..... eating
