Thank you so much of saying that.
I think so, too. He has had a more or less black beard for the last few weeks.
I will be sad when his time comes, but my gut feeling is that he doesn't have a lot of time left. I would love to be wrong.

No, he left the super worms.
He's only eaten crickets out of my hands for a while now. He doesn't chase them any more.
Hes gotten too old to chase I guess - have you tried dubia roaches or silk worms for him?

He is willing to eat dubia and crickets from my hands. He doesn't chase bugs any more, which is why I put super worms in his salad bowl. They can't go far, and he can eat them whenever he wants. Lately he's been leaving them. I put calcium on the bugs before hand feeding them to him.
Have you tried hornworms?

No, I don't remember ever seeing them at the pet store, but I'll look the next time I go to pick up bugs.
Thanks.

Thank you. That looks a lot easier than a trip to the pet store, too.

He seems to be showing some improvement. He stopped sliding off his log, he's moving around a bit, and yesterday he went over to his dish and ate his super worms. He had a bath today, and his head is up and he's looking around. His beard is still dark, but it has lightened up. Fingers crossed that he makes it to 14!
