Hello all It’s been a while and for that I’m sorry, life has a cruel way of throwing spanner’s in the works and after finishing building my terrarium in July it is only now it’s been possible to get my little baby, wasn’t a bad thing as the plants have really come on under the jungle dawn, so picked him up yesterday and settled him in to his new home, seemed to be relaxed and on getting home he walked onto my finger without hesitation and the onto basking branch , opened the flow on the big dripper as I wanted to make sure he saw it which he did and made his way over and climbed up the pipe
watched him for a little while as he was very active, wasn’t long before he was clim ing under top screen so i quickly raised all the Bulbs, I left him alone then for the day, periodically checking as I believe that was the right thing to do but really just wanted to stare in at him for the rest of the day was Planning to feed him little and often today, your thoughts on that please, i have small crickets to dust and pop in the feeder cup, but how many And how often I’m unsure, id Say he’s body length is 7cm(2.5in) not including tail so any thoughts on age? Noticed after lights out he was sleeping upside on top screen, I read this is not unusual and nothing to worry about, checked again in the middle of the night and he’d moved to side wall.
I will attach so pics of him, he’s name is Pedro

. Congrats and I wish you lots of staring fun. You can him as much as he can eat. Especially first 6 months it’s unlimited food for their fast growing.
