Tongue issue?

Thanks for the compliment! It makes it all worthwhile!

Tried to find an illustration of the whole mouth area...but I can't find one with enough detail.
 
Oh don't worry about it too much, take your time. I agree with lanceman, if it weren't for you and a couple others I wouldn't be on here too often! Thank you kinyonga!!!
 
Hi Ignore the rude, unhelpful people and concentrate on those with helpful advice.
Im hoping the tongue is just not noticable to you, and that there's nothing wrong. If he's pooping, he's eating, so that's good news even if he isnt using his tongue to do so. I deeper bowl, one that you are absolutely certain crickets wont escape from, will help you count what he eats. Or switch to larva that dont climb for a couple days, if that helps.

Is the bug bread your primary gutload? I wouldnt recommend that. Fresh fruits and veggies are important. The bug bread, if its the one I posted about, should be a distant third - a complimentary addition to your other gutloading items.

I have been using a deeper bowl, but there's always those that somehow manage to jump out, it is very frustrating.
I will be getting silkworms later this week but as far as I know he has never touched anything that does not move much, they are never gone from the bowl.

No of course I offer carrots and sweet potatoes, along with a small portion of the bread.
It molds quickly so I only offer small sugar-cube sized pieces, if that. They enjoy that then go to the vegetables.

No doubt! try breaking or removing their jumping legs, see if that helps

And I was pretty sure you used veggies, I just didnt notice it in the questionaire and thought Id better check :)
 
Yeah I tend to forget some things in that questionnaire. I will be so sad when I break the legs! That's just how I am.

Thank you Sandra! :)
 
whine whine....but WHAT is that hole?

Its the lizards trachea (air in) and behind it, the oesophagus (food in).

Yet again I get help but it is in the rudest of forms! Thank you, but, please don't make me put you on ignore, I don't need this right now.

I am asking you nicely, do not post on my thread again unless you decide to be kind, otherwise I will make use of my ignore list for the first time.
 
Chillax Syn, sometimes you dont recognise a gentle dig! :)

Im happy to help you and anybody if I can, but this is who I am, You meet alot of people in life, very few will be perfectly pleasant and gentle all the time.
Accept folk for who they are, the good and the bad. How many saints do you meet? :)
 
Welcome to my ignore list. Perhaps I will remove you after I receive an apology.
