My New Leachie

[Prognathodon]

Lurking Leachie is Lurking! I opened up Chirrut’s enclosure last night to give him fresh food and mist, and noticed him lurking on top of his cork bark. This was after I’d been home for a couple-three hours with the room lights on, so I think he’s getting braver. He let me get a couple pictures, this is the better one, with the exposure lightened up as far as my phone would take it:



This morning I finally found poop and urates! Yay! It’s hard to tell if he’s eating his Pangea smoothies, other than the day he left messy footprints on the door, so I feel much better after finding his teeny-tiny little mess. There was also a dark speck in his food this morning, not sure if it was poop or dirt, but the answer is to clean out the food cup and give him fresh either way.

And now get to blame Sauzo for something. He mentioned the ZooMed nano bulb he uses for Pat, and I picked one up for Chirrut (although I went with the 25W CHE) and added it Sunday evening to help create a little better warm spot. I had to move the enclosure, and between different air flow and the CHE the humidity is going lower, but that’s actually good, as I wasn’t sure it was getting dry enough between the evening mistings. Now I’m misting morning and evening.
