Donatello's Thread!

[Kym123089]

Well Donatello arrived and looks great! He is an Extreme Giant x Blue Cross, he is about 3 months old now. Im honestly not sure what to say on here lol His pictures will be up tomorrow. He seems to be a little iffy about me but for sure not aggressive. Any good advice will be appreciated, he ate a hornworm first thing from tongs then refused anything else i offered. Ill try offering a little more later and tomorrow ill offer the turkey mix.

Here is a couple pictures of Donatello in his welcome home enclosure (for the first month it will be home). He is shedding and a little dull from it but he is beautiful!!! and each piece of his shed that comes of I get to see a little more of his color!

And now he has burrowed and is hiding. This has been the last 24 hours :/

He is doing great as far as taming, just not with eating... I put a different post up for questions I have on that.[attachment=5036][attachment=5037][attachment=5038]

How cute! Looks like he inherited the facial structure of an extreme. I love all the pics.

 

[Kym123089]

Thank you, he is a joy to keep. Especially if he would just eat already!

More pictures, he finished his first shed since I got him and he's even prettier than I first thought[attachment=5087][attachment=5088][attachment=5089][attachment=5090]

I love how he has so many black speckles on him. I can't wait to see what his colors will look like as he gets older. And his little brown head is just the cutest. :3

 

[Kym123089]

He is speckley lol I'm pretty sure that isn't a word but thank you I'm excited to see him grow up! I'm pretty much just excited when he in buries himself now

Well today I had to replace Donatellos soil mix with newspaper until I decide if he was eating it! He poo'ed and it looked like normal poo then what appeared to be pure soil. He's doing great with eating a little more (some egg and a nibble of turkey on top of a mouse) but this is worrying me. He didn't ingest it when I was feeding bc he always has a massive plate covering his eating area. [attachment=5170][attachment=5171]

What kind of soil are you using?

 

[Kym123089]

I was using Eco earth (jungle soil I believe is the type) and plain soil mixed. It was mostly the jungle soil. He actually acts happier without it, exploring and he is interested in his food dish more. I gave him an extra hide and a shirt of mine (his fav to hide in) to help.

[Kym123089]

Thank you, me either I just need him to behave so he will be healthy as well as pretty
