I originally signed up to find out why my baby is not eating. We adopted him on 9/28 and 10 days later he is still not eating much. He was eating spring greens so that is what I've tried to continue, along with some weeds from our yard (no sprays). I have dusted with some calcium, not a whole lot. Could that be the problem?
Also, as I was getting ready to put Flash back after his soak tonight I noticed some movements and it appears there are a lot of bugs in the new cypress mulch I bought today. Kind of freaking out about that... I have one end deeper for burrowing and moisture and the other end is mixed with aspen chips and is more shallow with the heat and UVB lamps in the middle so that his hide is cooler and his food doesn't cook. It is a long sweater box for now. We're building a full tort table this weekend. He is indoors mostly in AZ, just a baby. He's fairly active and curious, and he gets to roam in the backyard almost every day for about 30 minutes to an hour for some natural light and heat.
I have cared for ball pythons, corn snakes, skinks, dubias, leopard geckos.... I am feeling completely lost with this little guy. We did our research ahead of time and of course I have been binge reading and growing more confused. What do you recommend?
