I just got a new baby from the guy doing Florida rescues (Rodney Irwin) and I enticed her with raw egg in a shallow dish (no shells). She does like super worms, but I'm trying to just get her onto ground turkey with calcium and vitamin supplements along with fish, and chicken gizzards, liver, and salmon. Her favorite now though is fuzzies. I give her those at least 4X/week. I either dust them with the supplements, or add the supps to her gnd turk. I have 2 Tegus, and they both love the turkey. The 2 year old is completely uninterested in any bugs.

I think your temps are close - except it might be a little warm for the low end, and a little cool for the high end temp. I do the same with my humidity - although I try to stay around at least 70% as my minimum.

Do you give him baths? I think it's a good way to break up the monotony - maybe stir up an appetite. Your baby looks pretty small still - I would think 3 locusts might be a lot of food to him? Yours is prob too small for fuzzies but you could give pinkies to start. Good luck!! Looks like a little cutie!

[QUOTE="Debita, post: 170402, member: 9255"] I just got a new baby from the guy doing Florida rescues (Rodney Irwin) and I enticed her with raw egg in a shallow dish (no shells). She does like super worms, but I'm trying to just get her onto ground turkey with calcium and vitamin supplements along with fish, and chicken gizzards, liver, and salmon.

I do the same with my humidity - although I try to stay around at least 70% as my minimum. Do you give him baths? I think it's a good way to break up the monotony - maybe stir up an appetite.
