so i covered up half his tank, will give him a few days and then try again. i havent tried feeding a lot of different variations, just live and fresh killed. he didnt pay any attention to the fresh killed. the live he SOMETIMES seems to notice, and will creep his way towards, but when he gets too close, they just touch faces, and he jerks back and hides. i suppose i can try a gerbil or something of the sort, does that usually do the trick? ill have pictures of the enclosure tomorrow.

its a glass cage, but at this point only 2 panes of the glass are showing. i have the back, one side, bottom and top covered, so its not much, considering one of the leftover 2 sides is mostly covered by sphagnum moss and branches
