Hi all,

i've recently purchased a pair over the weekend, and they're still not too comfortable with me. my question is, so far when i've been feeding them, they get startled easily, and still dont eat too much as they'd rather go and hide. So, what's the best way of feeding them w/o startling them. right now i'm just placing the bowl of mealies in front of them, and i've having a hard time keeping the mealies in i tell you! on a related note, if some of the mealies escape into the substrate and i lose them, could that be dangerous for the geckos?



on an unrelated note, i've just lost my first and only corn snake to a unexplained death. am a new herper so my confidence is at an all time low now, i just hope nothing else happens to my other herps, my leopards included.
