Fired up and down...

[zina10]

Ohhh ok I misread then. I now see what you are saying !

what type is he ?

He was advertised as a "Tri Color Quad Stripe" Meaning he is a full pinstripe (those 2 stripes down his back) and 2 additional short stripes below each of the pin stripes..

He is a "probable" he. May still turn out to be female. Then I'll need a new name, LOL

Here he is as fired down as I've ever seen him...Lil cutie!

That is normal! Mine sleeps or pretends to sleep as long as it's light.

He hatched out in August and weighs 11grams right now

If he gets any paler he will fade away...

Poor Smeagol and his clueless owner !!!

He finally is getting so relaxed that he is fired WAY down and must be sleeping soundly.

That is, until his owner freaks out because his eyes look sunken in. AGAIN. Like they did earlier when he was sleeping. And the time before then.

So I wonder, how can he be dehydrated again?? And off we go, misting a bit nearby him so that the dried out gecko can lick some life saving drops off the glass and his eyes can pop out again.

Until I finally thought to myself, well, gee. Could there be ANOTHER reason for the eyes to look sunken in a bit ?

Apparently so. When they are sleeping deeply and soundly.

Well, now I feel stupid and bad for waking poor Smeagol up out of deep slumber to make it rain each time.

Lucky me he is no worse for the wear and just went back to sleep each time and he still looks nice, pale and relaxed !

He has been sleeping in his favorite corner, in plain view, so I could see his eyes and it freaked me out that they would sometimes look a bit...sunken in. I've read that means they are dehydrated. But I guess it can also mean they are deep asleep

I just wish he would gain some weight and eat more. But all in due time

He will in time they grow relatively slowly and as long as he is eating he will be fine. To get a faster growth you can always alternate CGD with bugs considering your enclosure I would recommend Dubias and have them in a 4 inch ceramic bowl so they remain contained......he will figure it out, that is what I do with mine...you could feed cricket but I would recommend feeding in a tub because the last thing you want is have cricket not being eaten and still in the enclosure.

I'm going to try that, although I'm not sure I can even find crickets locally, much less dubias. I might have to order online..??

I've heard not to feed insects until they eat they smoothies well. He does eat, but it doesn't seem like a lot ? Although he only recently seems to really settle in well (comfy enough to fire down?)

Well, I haven't killed him yet, LOL. I just keep trying to do all I can. I'm going to figure out how to get some Dubias over here ! This little bugger is to cute, I want him to do well

OH MY GOD, how can he be that cute?!?!?

Dubias might be a better choice there are many places online, not only are they better nutritionally but they do not stink and don't die on you like crickets do, so if you order some you will be able to keep them longer probably raise then to adulthood and breed them too.
