Now What's Wrong?

Congratulations!

Have you considered moving him to an opaque tube? I mean you cant even see him anymore with the newspaper in there now anyways lol.

He would probably be less stressed in a tub. I use 28qt sterilite for all mine, but being as he has open space issues, maybe a 15-16qt? unless he is too big for those, hard to tell. Anyways, just an idea.

We can still see him in the hides, or at least which hide he's in! For pictures, I just remove a piece or two of newspaper, click-click-click, then put the newspaper back. Yesterday I posted the video I took of him shedding, where you can see the newspapers around him. The clear gap where he was visible to the camera was where a piece had been removed just during filming.

Thanks... I'm so happy about how he's growing. At first it took him forever to position and swallow a mouse, and his first shed with us left several pieces stuck on. Now he seems to have become more efficient at both eating and shedding. Filling out nicely, hiding contentedly... all is well in his little world.

They can be really funny when they don't like something, and it can be really hard to guess what it is, sometimes.

I had a hatchling last year that roamed constantly and wouldn't feed. I tried newspapers, and other tricks, and finally, I decided to play a hunch.
I moved him into a LARGER container. He stopped roaming and went into his hide, and ate the next day. <lol>
