Mine also even though a big girl can be shy about eating. I also feed in a seperate tub and usually put a towel over it. She was shy when we got her and it worked, so we stuck with it. I mean ive showed local kids and taught them about the snake and all our frogs so she eats fine uncovered. But it made her more secure to begin with so now its habit. All kinds of quirks and fine detail but it all makes that extra difference. Because i dont care for pvc systems personally, doesnt mean i have the right to crap on people because most have a large success rate. Its just our preferance.
Btw we saw a study somewhere(forget atm) about how the ink on newapaper, because there is always some excess inks, and in general can be known to cause health problems after a while in reptiles and amphibians. Anyone else hear about, know, or experience anything?
