So when i cleaned his cage the other day i decided to weigh him...he is 19grams...so he has gained 2 or 3 grams in the past 3 weeks.

Anyways,i snapped some new photos of him, he is getting yellower (a little) and some kind of pattern is coming in!

Two questions...

1. At the moment i am giving him full choice food...he has a dish of fresh greens and a dish of "seed mix" (rep-cal juvi iguana pellets, pretty bird finch food, white millet seed, 15 bean soup mix -ground up-) So my question is...should i be feeding more of a regime than just letting him eat whatever he wants? Should he be eating more greens than seeds or beans or vice versa?

2. when i first got him, i didnt handle him for about a week to let him settle in. He was basking and eating and active, so after a week i figured i could try to hold him. Well, i have held him a few times now and he is a spaz! When i go near the tank he panics and runs around like crazy...climbing over everything. I have no problem taking it slow with him, and understand they arent always super mellow, but im just wondering if i am stressing him too much? I know some lizards are just crazy when they are young (such as beardies and leos) and tend to naturally mellow as they age...do Uros do the same thing? How often should i be trying to hold him?

Scuttle:




Thanks!

Mim
