How large is your enclosure? In my experience, milks tend to prefer smaller, tighter caging, in direct contrast to advice given in some popular publications. They have evolved to live in secrecy and in close quarters. I have 250 /- truangulum' and nearly every one I have given a "spacious" enclosure has gone off feed. For a small campbelli, I would recommend something no larger than 4" x 6" for a problem feeder. I also suggest keeping your interaction to a minimum. Neonate milks stress easily. Also be mindful of the temperature. Shoot for a hot spot around 88*F.



As for prey species, it sounds like you're running the gamut. Note, though, that Anolis are seldom accepted by triangulum... Even lizard feeders. Sceloporus are a great choice, but you will have the best luck with skinks and Hemidactylus geckos.



To recap: keep it warm, don't handle it, and keep it in a small tub. Overall, I tend to agree with the other replies.
