The last couple of days Smeagol started to "fire down" some for the first time. I take that as a good sign. They turn pale and not so vibrant looking. From what I hear it means they sleep or are relaxing, not so excited.
I took Smeagol out to weigh him and he was paler then usual. Of course after I took him out of his Deli (took a minute to fluff the moss and check the tank over) he was fully fired up again.
Overall he is pretty calm. He hates to be put in the Deli though. I wanted him in a sauna for a few minutes. Sauna simply means a soaking wet paper towel and heavily misted small container. No heat or warm water. Still trying to get the rest of his stuck shed to loosen up. I'm not picking at his stuck shed anymore, though, most of it has come off since his move to the bigger tank. Probably from rubbing up on the Deco while running around at night
So here is Smeagol, somewhat fires down. Notice the paler sides in him. I wonder how much paler he can get..
After his sauna. All fired up again, LOL
How can anyone get any work done when there is something so beautiful to look at instead
Sorry about the reflection on the glass. But I didn't want to open the doors again, time for him to relax..
Btw. He hasn't gained any weight yet, but hasn't lost any either. I see a little bit of food missing in the mornings. Hope he will eat more enthusiastically soon!
