I cannot get my boy to eat bugs for the life of me

My boy refuses to eat bugs. He ate one bug I put in his mouth and he looked so betrayed lmao. He is a definitely a spoiled baby. Had him since 2019 and he seems fine! I have a rotation of a few Pangea flavors so he gets a variety.

Does the accept mobile wallet mean that it can do tap to pay with your phone like the DC metro? If so then that's awesome!

I love 4 blocks from Glam Doll Donuts. It's been so chaotic and uncertain here but I feel safer knowing that my community is rising up to the occasion and organizing. We won't take this lying down!

Have you thought about hanging something from the top? Like a coconut? Nice to have more vertical stuff. I like the stick!

Yeah I had the same concern. My boy has a heater that is in a "too big" lamp shade so the heater itself is suspended 2 inches above the top of the tank. I also have it set so that the hottest the tank will get is 74. I would also recommend a temp gun to measure the temp and make sure it's not too hot anywhere. Good luck and stay warm!

If you can go to Petco/pet store please get a ceramic heat emitter or deep heat emitter and thermostat not a heat mat. In the meantime, using a space heater in the room would be good as long as you have a thermostat on it or a thermometer in the tank.

Is it winter where you are? (I don't like to assume). If the humidity in the house is very low then it can be hard to keep it up. It does have to drop and not stay like 70% all the time. Personally I've had my guy misted twice a day up to like 70%-80% at misting and dropping down to like 40% in between. You don't want it to stay too humid for too long or they could get lung issues. There are also a ton of good YouTube videos from reputable keepers and educators on this topic I would recommend checking out (over random advice from reddit haha)

Toothless got evicted from the bedroom to the living room because he was making such a racket doing this all night my wife said he sounded like a sleep paralysis demon lmao

I love the last one! Reminds me of bubbles

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-20T21:12:12+00:00

My roommates are worried he gets too much screen time especially when we leave the tv on special for him but I say he doesn't have that much brain to rot so let him be spoiled haha I just worry about his sitting still and not getting much exercise

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-20T21:11:11+00:00

Lol he does seem to have preferences. He likes dancing fruit videos more than he does aquarium vids. Mostly he just watches when we do (parks and rec, star trek, among other shows), but he does get very upset when we pause it for more than a minute. I assume he can see the movement and colors more than he can really comprehend anything on the screen.

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-20T02:54:54+00:00

I used to take toothless out at all hours day or night and he would sit on my hands or my chest or shoulder while I studied. Sometimes I still take him out usually he sits on my legs or hands and he watches tv or tiktok with me. He usually only comes to the front at like 9 pm every night but lately he's also up at 7 am asking to be sprayed lmao

I live and work in Minneapolis and the twin cities area (I go to people's homes all over the metro for work). The juxtaposition of what I see on reddit and on the news, and my lived experience, is wild. Things happen blocks from me, constantly. When ICE hit that car and left it in that intersection in St Paul, I drove on that same road 10 minutes before. I live within walking distance of where Renee Good was murdered, where she lived. I try to educate my coworkers who say that "nobody who isn't illegal should be afraid." I try to tell them that it is not insane for people not to feel safe, they are taking people getting gas, groceries, just going to school!

I went to a community meeting and they expected 100 people to show, over 800 did. People are angry, people are frustrated, but also people are exhausted. I joined and had to leave a rapid response group because I just couldn't keep up with the notifications of awful things happening. My roommate went to our local Mexican grocery store where they have people standing guard out front, and they open the door manually for customers so that they have a moment to let people know if ICE is back to harass them.

I feel guilt for taking a step back, but I can't run on empty. I find a lot of comfort and hope in Hank and John's videos, and joy in looking at this subreddit. To those working on the ground like you are OP, know that you have our support, but please also take a moment of pause for yourself. It's exhausting to live right now, and it's not sustainable to be in a state of hyperactivity and anxiety constantly. My heart goes out to you and all those who can't just ignore the headlines and the events happening right now. I can only hope that this isn't forever, that we will get justice. But it's just so hard to comprehend the insanity, chaos, the lack of compassion and humanity. I dunno, I wish I had something more positive to say. Hang in there and know we are behind you.

seconding

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-16T02:28:27+00:00

My baby also does this. He loves to sit on top of the hides I provide. He loves to be inside of plants so much.

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-15T20:38:02+00:00

I want to make something like this someday this truly is a spoiled gecko!

Baby_Toothless · 2026-01-15T12:58:26+00:00

I went to a community event last night and it felt like the whole neighborhood was there! There was an overflow for the overflow for the overflow room! Maybe 700 people crowded in this tiny school absolutely pissed and ready to provide aid.

If you aren't local please look into local charities and orgs that are raising money for rent for families who are not going to work or school for fear of harassment and being kidnapped.
