funny thing happened earlier,i was feeding the baby MHD by hand and she must have gotten startled then next thing you know she was limp as spaghetti...lol tongue hanging out and wouldnt move a muscle..."hey im dead so you can stop feeding me now and put me back in my home". It was pretty amusing...happen to anyone else?

Yes, FroggieB talked about that in a previous post
and mine does a dead dragon imitation just laying flacid in a branch with her arms and legs hanging down
now I have babies, and I M waiting to see the antiocs they may provide
I do SO hope they all survive, speaking of which, I M going to go dust the crickets I just bought (yes they finished the 30 I put in there yesterday) and watch them eat (I have YET to see Spike eat)
I had to take the lamp off the top of the tank, it cracked the glass lid (now I need to get new glass cut)
so I M going to put a UTH on a timer so they have SOME thermo change from morning to night

Yes, I was almost ready to bury Darrell when he finally moved. I've also had a few babies do the same. They are real characters!

Elizabeth, if you go with a uth consider putting it on a side pane near some branches instead of on the bottom. That way they can still get cooler if needed by dropping to a lower branch but can get closer to the warmth if needed too.

Hope Spike comes around soon. Maybe you should separate him for a spell and see how he responds to food when there is no competition.
