Another week, another snuggle buddy.

Earlier this week, I brought in a zoo med nano with a 40w ceramic heater to raise Jerkface's (yes, his name is now Jerkface) ambient temp from 74 (room temp at my house) to 78 degrees. This decision was based on a thread I found here from several years ago about a CRB with similar feeding issues that were resolved with higher ambients. I also moved him into a proper 10 gallon viv. Once the ambient temp came up, he immediately got more active and stopped staying in his hides 24/7.

Decided to try the deli cup method for feeding tonight because Monday is when I feed my BP. I put Jerkface into a deli cup sized rubbermaid container with an f/t pinky instead of the live ones I've been offering because I am not going through that again.

He ignored the pinky for several hours and eventually I covered the viv with a towel because my cats were being too nosy. Sometime in the last few hours he must have eaten the pinky because it's not in the deli cup anymore. So, as in the thread with the CRB, higher ambients than room temperature again seem to have made the difference.

And the deli cup.

And covering the Little Prince's viv.

He's still a pain in the butt.
