live feeding video..and someone is a little jerk!

Smeagol can be a little jerk! (i still love him)

Every night he sits by the door, begging for bugs.
I try to ignore him but I feel those intense little eyes burning holes into my face !!

But no, he has to eat his Crested Gecko Diet, too. Yummy little smoothies. As is, I make 2 different ones for him.

So tonight he is back to begging. When that didn't work, he started showing off what a great hunter he is. Jumping here and there and even exploring his new leaf litter on the ground, searching for bugs.
Then back to the door, staring at me.

No Smeagol, you should eat your smoothie.

Next thing I know he is up on the ledge at his food bowl. Does he eat from it ?

Nope! He craps in it. That's what he thinks of the smoothie:

So..I give in. I'm weak. At least those are some healthy Dubia roaches, they almost eat better then I do !! Veggies, Greens, Fruit AND roach food. Then they get dusted with vitamins and Calcium, too. Smeagol approved.

So I get the Kritter Keeper and open the doors. And of course the little Gecko steps right on the elevator (my hand) to be lowered into the hunting pit. Where he proceeds to miss grabbing them every other time he tries :rofl: But he is having fun with it !!

and here it is, beware, graphic live feeding !!

When he is done eating he waits on the elevator to gently lift him back up to his home.



what can I say. He's got me trained...:oops:

That’s amazing!!! I’ve been handling Draconis a lot more and seems to not try and suicide jump as much, just waiting on the horn worms, Black Soldier worms and roaches to get here. Today and Thursday are the deliveries.

Oh, you'll be having fun with that !!!

Smeagol likes the roaches the best, he wants the fast movement. Of course the roaches are smart and freeze in place once he is around. LOL

The worms he only likes hand fed when they writhe around in front of his face on the tweezers.

He is spoiled, sigh.

That is a vicious killer you have there. I'm soooo scared!

Boo these horn worms are so super tiny lol but oops I didn’t realize I ordered 250 BSF worms [emoji33] these reptiles better eat them before the freaking turn! [emoji15]

Keep them in the refrigerator (the BSF) They last longer, lol. And feed off the dark looking ones first (unless they are obv. dead)

Fresh out of the fridge they don't move, but they warm up quickly. Now..Smeagol won't "hunt" them, but he will take them from the tweezers. He won't even hunt the Dubias unless they run. And they promptly play dead when he is around.

But hey, its all very amusing and entertaining ;)

Yea that’s what I’ve seen with my Leo, that lil booger LOVES hunting now again I’m still trying to work with Draconis but one thing I know he likes is his hornworms lol

Oh and I use Discoids, I can’t have Dubias in Florida because they’re invasive here. But they’re all the same I ordered 50 xl for my dragons and Meds for my Leo and crestie
