Hi! Another newb here

Hehe. I used to have an aversion to bugs, especially roaches. And yesterday I picked one up and held it for my water dragon to catch and eat. Its funny how a person can just acclimate to something when motivated.

Haze was hungry! I checked the Munson chart and decided to try 2 pinks tonight. I could swear she already recognizes the feeding box (or maybe she smells it). She dove right in and ate the first one in seconds right in front of me. That's a first. I've been leaving her alone in the feeding tub. I opened the box and teased her a little with the 2nd one and she struck! That one took a bit longer for her to swallow. She's back in her peanut hide (pic above). I think that's her favorite right now. She's almost always in it.

So cool to watch her eat!

I absolutely hate feeder crickets!! And yet I keep getting pets that need them ... Obviously something is wrong with me ...

That's great that she's eating well for you! Her first 2 or 3 meals were covered but the rest of them while she was here were uncovered in a deli cup. She's usually not shy about eating.

Oh I hate crickets too!! Noisy, smelly nasty little buggers. I discovered dubia roaches and replaced crickets with them.

Maybe Haze is warming up to me? I'd like to think so. The last two days I caught her peeking out of her hide when I'm in my room after work. She ought to be nice and full now. I probably will leave her alone a full 72 hrs to digest tonight's meal.

Just curious, what's the little silvery gray stuff outside of her hide? I don't think that's her....

A deli cup and cardboard box that I covered with an old pair of roller derby tights cut to size. I covered the rough edges of a water bottle with hot pink (snake print) tights to make a tunnel too.. In the middle of the tank.
