I tried to be nice about it, but she didnt care that he had no UV light source at all, and i know the health problems that can arise from no light, to a poor diet of bad crickets, to not offering veggies early in life for them, just alot of things she could have done better.

So i bought her a screen cage with a small cricket tub with a HUGE jug of cricket juice and some powder for the feeding and most importantly, A LIGHT! This was months later, and the little guy was almost 5 inches long.
Not long after I bought all this, his spine fused together and he was paralyzed and was put down. She never really thanked me, or cared that he died. Yea, sorta pissed.
That's sad. Kudos to you for trying though!

Was his paralysis due to the poor care or was it something else you think?

Did/are you going to get one?
