Bit of an update; He ate the heck out of some ground beef two days ago. I squeezed some fig juice on it and he went to town. I did notice he seemed a bit sluggish after, barely ate the next day, and went back to eating his normal amount today. He did the same thing last month when he was fed...

He is a redfoot hatchling He's a redfoot hatchling

Thank you all for the replies. I actually had a success story today. I mixed in some sweet potato baby food with ground beef and he ate it all up! Looks like I won't have to resort to cat food after all

I agree there are many better options out there, but at this point I'm willing to try anything. Toki seems to hate any protein I attempt to give him (chicken, ground beef, eggs).

Hey all, I've seen a lot of suggestions for using low fat dry cat food as a source of protein for picky eaters. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the use of wet cat food? There are multiple choices for natural and organic chicken or fish wet cat food and was just wondering if that would be...

Don't worry, he's under constant supervision! And thanks!

Just wanted to update with some pictures. Toki enjoys his time outside in the Florida humidity.

So I've had my thermostat installed for a few days now, and Toki seems to be enjoying his new ambient temperature. But, the read on the thermostat can sometimes run up to 10° lower than my zoomed thermometer, which is placed in the exact same spot. Can it be that the thermostat is getting a...

Extremely helpful and specific. Thank you so much

Ok this information is exactly what I needed. And would keeping the set thermostat temp at 88 be too much for a hatchling?

And what do you feel would be an appropriate minimum ambient temp setting for the thermostat?

I have a 100w CHE as my heat source. He is just a hatchling so I'm trying to keep his temps around 85.

Hey all, probably a stupid question, but, I purchased a reptile thermostat to maintain ideal temps for my little Toki. Where is the best spot in his enclosure to place the probe, and what should I set my minimum and max temps based on that location? Thanks in advance

Ok thank you for that. I've just seen a lot of back and forth on here regarding UVB so I wasn't sure if maybe the light is too harsh for him.

I'm hoping someone can put some concerns of mine to rest. Toki is not super active. I'm concerned there's too much light from his UVB. I have a 10.0 uvb fluorescent strip. His temps are great 85-78 and his humidity is always between 75-85. His wooden enclosure is 12" high and I have the uvb...
