Your not insulting me..I like the blunt comments...I most definitely think I over reacted on him not eating....the pet store I gorging from said they were new hatchling only out of the egg for a week and just barely had there first shed.they were 10 bucks a piece...gosh I should of know right there..anyway I got him home and let him settle for a week..then tried feeding every 4 or 5 days for 3 weeks....he wouldn't eat and looked way skinny to me so I started assist feeding..he was 61 grams when I got him..then went to 55 when I started to assist feed...now he is at 80 grams....im an idiot...reading your post made me realize that I probably did more damage than good didn't I??
