I dont have much to go on, since I never hatched one of these guys until now.

But my c. collaris kids last year ate quickly ! He looks good, but not eating yet!

I have him in a bin, temps are fine, I took up the paper towels briefly so he could really see the little crickets, but he looked , and did nothing. He does take water.

Still dont know the sex, but what a cutie, getting lighter in color.

Also does any body have Casey Lasik's email, I seem to have lost it. Thanks,

See if you can catch one, and tear a single wing off...just enough to get it to buzz around eratically.

He/She looks great still...I would not be worried yet on the eating. The lizards looks awesome still.

come with the crickets sometimes, I forget the name of them. But collareds especially young ones usually feast on them.

He did not. He was very fat when he hatched, I know he had a nice reserve so to speak, but now hes thinning like an older baby, if you know what I mean.

He is longer than he was and legs are longer(if thats possible, hehehe) So hes appearing more slim as the days go by.

Hes very cute, he watches me , very inquisitive, just not interested in eating.

I dont want anything to happen to him, it took so long to get one hes very special,

I am good at "collecting food"
What I do is hang a bucket under a porch light, and after about an hour I have HUNDREDS of misc flying insects in there! Then I place them in a container for feeding in the morning.
I have 3 porch lights so I wouldn't even need to by crickets!
If this sounds like a good idea, I came up with it myself. If is sounds stupid, it was a JohnE's idea!
BTW I did get 6 eggs so far from my females, all scattered about the cage! One was even perched on a rock under the UVB bulb!
Crazy critterphytus's !!

Hi Eve,

Last year my first hatchling didn’t eat for around 2 weeks – but drank a lot. I tried everything and was about to try force feeding and then he ate. I don’t think that you should worry. From the picture your hatchling doesn’t look thin, so hopefully he will begin to eat one of the next days.

relaxed knowing you went through it for 2 weeks, with one.
He does drink, so thats good.

Thanks again buddy ! Made me smile, LOL
