Ok soo...
I don't think I'll be able to move Pocket over tomorrow because I'm going to my cousin's first thing in the morning and won't be back until Monday, and then Monday I have to get X-Rays on my back
So I think Tuesday-Wednesday will be the move day :)
Just keeping ya in the loop! She's still great :D I have a question though,
I had her out today to show family (we were all gentle and quiet, she was literally only out for 30secs), so I'm wondering if it's still ok to hold her tonight? Just don't want her to be too stressed. Also, since she only ate three last Thursday, should I go back to only feeding once a week?

Thanks!!

I think you can still hold her. Kind of judge it by her behavior once out. Always end on a good note, if you can tell she is more fidgety, put her up while you are all still good ;)

About feeding, I'm not one that holds to a strict routine. Just try once or twice the week. Smeagol never eats very many , but he would love them every day ! LOL. He still isn't the greatest hunter, either..haha.

Just try different routines and stick with the one that works for you and little Pocket. You will be able to tell by her, what works best !

Can't wait to see pictures after the great move :)

Thanks Zina! I ended up not holding her and just putting her to bed last night (that was before I saw your reply lol).
I'll try switching to once a week! Unless she seems hungry, then I might give in and give her a treat ;)
When changing her Pangea this morning, I decided to take her out to watch me! I let her sit on a plant right in front of me while I made up her Pangea, then I let her lick the mixing stick. It was so cute!! If only my phone wasn't dead :sigh2:
I'll still have her out for a short time tonight, I need my Pocket fix before I leave in the morning lol! I'll make sure we end on a good note :D
Also, what do you think of me getting this for her big tank https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/swe...th-pump-slate/
(small size)? I'd fill the bottom with small pebbles so it's shallow, but do you think it'd still be unsafe? Idk if she could get stuck in the top part? It's hard to tell the actual size. I think I'm getting the med one for my older cresties tank though, Bea is so big I doubt he could fit his toe through there (kidding, I'd modify that too)!

[emoji173][emoji173][emoji173] she's about to shed! AND! she's NINE GRAMS now!!!

She is getting so BIG! I weighed her last night and she is 11 grams!! :00
I'm working on her tank! I want it to be a surprise, but I have two words as a hint for you: DIY, flowers :shh::D

Sorry for not updating sooner! And, should I keep this as her progression thread (that's kinda what it's turned into) or make an official prog thread? Thanks :)

Tadaaaa! Took a lot longer than I thought because the background d I took forever on ended up not working, so I just got this one:) sorry the pic is horrible lol. I have a coconut hide I'll be putting in there soon too. I don't know if ill ever see her again lol! She's so tinnnyyy. I think she'll like it though:)


(The package that came today with the background, was supposed to have her watermelon mango Pangea since I was all out. But the sent me the wrong kind! They sent me apricot! So I mixed apricot and banana papaya together and she kinda liked that, so well see lol) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4f5ca46346.jpg

I just walked into my room to grab something rq (1:46am) with my phone flashlight on and I saw her up on her food ledge! :D I was worried that she wouldn't find her food but nope :) Now I just hope she'll eat her apricot and banana food :P

Baby Pocket is doing great in her new tank! I think she's finding her way around, she seems to have a favorite spot on the side of the glass she always goes to. THANKFULLY we're getting her food tomorrow from Pangea. She's been eating some apricot food and filled up on dubias, so I'm not too worried. I am glad her watermelon's coming through:)

Haven't updated in a lil bit, but she's still doing great! Still get handled every light. and she's eating like a beast! I put in her little diy bridge I made, and she LOVES it! She always sleeps under the flowers on the bridge
