I am so glad that you got the ornate. I have one that was given to me 17 years ago. She was kept by the former owner for 5 years previously and was rescued from a pet store that was selling WC at the time. She was in bad shape then, but has thrived in captivity.
Hobbs, as She is called, loves earthworms, waxworms on occasion, superworms, redworms, crickets, and anything else that moves. Because she is an adult, I give her greens one day and live food the next. It is easier to get the calcium supplement to stick to the nightcrawler than to get her to eat the greens with it on them. Her favorite fruit is mulberry, which doesn't have much flavor to it if you ask me.
Hobbs tends to be on the shy side. She comes out when she is hunger and then goes to bury herself when she is finished.
