Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Its been almost a month now still doing great. Has to be a solid 8inches long now, plowing through a dozen crix almost every night. Still pretty shy probably always will be. Starting to plump back up again maybe its growth spurt is slowing down a bit to put on weight, and then shed again. small heat wave last week gave me a little scare,swiched to smaller blue bulb instead of red unpluged heat mat and temps were fine. Luckily I had a selection of random bulb sizes and colors from experementing before I got it. Thats it for now, I would love to here from someone else from any expirience level, even just a lurker that doesnt have any reps like I was not to long ago.

That just seems like too much food to fast. a dozen crickets a night?

It is alot more food then I was expecting it to compared to what ive read, but everything ive read also says ofer as much food until it doesnt show interest anymore. As ive never seen it eat in front of me Iwas only putting 6 crix in and checking back shortly and thay were gone. Then I put 8 and same results and so on now its up to 12 and there all gone in the morning. All cix are dusted and its growing rapidly, I didnt think there was a problem with that if somebody with more experience thinks thats to much food I will switch to every other night. Thats what I am here for to learn from other people,I just dont want to slow down its growth 4 inches to 8 inches in 4 weeks I thought was great as I dont really know how old it is. please respond and let me know.

Are you implying I dont know what I am talking about? I mean it will eat 12 crickets a night if you let it but does that mean you should do that?

thats not what I meant at all. I clearly said that I was here to learn and I meant more experience than me, I reread my post and nothing there even remotly says that you dont know what you are talking about. as I said every thing ive read says feed them as much as thay want when thay are young, ive also read that they hatch out at 3 to 4 inched and if you read my other posts I got it at about 4 inches so I fed it and fed it some more and its grown rapidly. Ive read these forums for months alot of the different ones and finnaly have something to talk about practicaly by myself for a month and the only three responses I get are negative. Very discourageing I have said nothing rude and I am doing my best about spelling and puncuation along with the care for my tokey.
