[QUOTE="Tayayelor, post: 162341, member: 28783"] Hey everyone so real quick update, I tried giving him some mealworms because, sorry but I personally detest crickets, and figured I'd at least see if I can avoid them and sadly I think no, he is absolutely not interested in the mealworms. I put some in a dish they couldnt get out of and he didnt touch it, I used some tongs and put it so close to him and still didnt want any. So I guess crickets it will have to be. However hes gotten super calm, when I first moved him he was moving so quick and darting around anytime I did anything, but now hes so calm, I can open his lid and he doesnt move, sometimes when I need him to move out from one spot I will use a brush and very lightly nudge him and he doesnt dart away! He walks real calmly to the other side, and doesnt turn around and throw hands either! He actually hasnt done a defensive pose at all yet. Now on another note, I didnt give very deep substrate like some suggested so he cant burrow, but to make up for it hes in a very dark corner of my shelves, but he has been doing this thing recently where he just kinda sits on top of his water dish? Not in the water but just on the rim of the bowl? And hes completely webbed up the area around the bowl. I had to move him away from the bowl today so I could add water to it. Just kind of odd, dont know if theres a reason or if maybe he just likes the bowl? Sorry for another paragraph here lol [/QUOTE]
