Short update.

A little update on Spencer.

Well I've changed his tank around as I've posted before. He has a lot more moisuture in his tank. Alluminum foil on his screen top, lots of substrate, and a larger hidey. I've also put some mealworms inside his substrate and he gets crickets daily and eats like a truck.

He's been doing really great. When I first brought him in, he was active at first out of curiosity, but after a few hours he became lazy and uninterested in a lot of things. Now every day at 12, I'll open his basking light and he'll climb out of his hide, walk up his stone steps and onto his basking rock and lay there for a bit. Then at feeding time I throw in some crickets and he runs around chasing them. He's become a trouble maker too, he loves to dig and burrow (of course!) and he always digs out his plant and waits for me to fix it so he can pull it out again.

I'm VERY excited to start building his enclosure, I'm sure he's going to love having a massive enclosure to be a brat in!

Here are a few pictures I got.

He looks alert and intelligent, just like he should.
