The additional information was extremely helpful. Once again - didn't mean to judge you in any way. It's just impossible to know these things unless we ask or the information is given in advance. You are indeed taking excellent care of him!!! To be honest he looks perfectly healthy to me!!! The only thing I might add is that it is not generally recommended to add extra supplements to the gut load, meaning the same supplements which you powder the feeders with, as long as you are using nutritious high quality gut loads. There are some members here selling dry gut loads of high quality and Repashy brand is also well respected. Stay away from Fluker's!
Yes i understand they are a more complicated reptile to keep and most people post without having the proper husbandry to start with. Between the information on this forum and a friend of mine who is also a herper, i have learned how to take good care of him. I just wish the stupid plant would grow leaves on the FRONT instead of the back near the window!! Lol. That's the lighting though i got my eye on them jungle dawns let me tell ya.
I bought the flukers plain calcium because at the time, i couldn't find anything else for sale. When it's time to buy new, i'll probably go with repashy. As for the bugs, i'm about to buy a cage and start breeding hornworms.. thats going to be fun! I know how to buy the cage and set it up for the most part but need help with a chow recipe and soil content/humidity etc.
