Welcome~ Can you tell us some details: how long you've had him, what are your temps and what kind of UVB and heat bulbs do you have as these have a HUGE impact on how they eat.. what kind of substrate do you have in your set up? I would not offer mealworms as they are very hard for them to digest as they contain chitlin in their shell that can cause impaction..What other insects have you offered? Crickets, dubia roaches, BSFL, silkworms. Waxworms, butterworms are only treat items, hornworms are fantastic for hydration but too many will cause very runny poop. What kind of greens are you offering?
