Someone apparently dumped this little guy at a local ball field, and he is now my new buddy! We had him checked out, and is healthy. Apparently he wasn't out in the wild for long, because he wasn't skinny... However, he didn't move far from where he was seen the previous days, so it was obvious the poor little guy didn't know what to do ; ( So sad someone would do that to an innocent little creature...
So he's in a big tank now - with newspaper, a water dish, a basking log, and food bowl, and i got the two lights i was told to get at the pet store... one that simulates sun, and the other a red heat light. He's been eating LOTS of crickets, and downed the mealworms i gave him rather quickly. Finally ate some turnip greens last night, with carrot slivers...
Thinking about what i want to put in the bottom of his cage... i like the idea of slate tiles - but cutting to fit may be hard... someone mentioned shelf liner - but i don't want it to look crappy either...
Any tips and things people have learned along the way would be awesome to hear!
OH - - One other question - - i can get him to ride around on my shoulder, but he burries his face in my neck. Should i worry about him going vampire on my neck - or does this mean he is content??? (i think he was handled alot before i got him)...
