Toothless did a few funny things today that I thought I'd share
.
First off, he's acclimatized wonderfully to the new enclosure. He's still a bit shy, but will take food from the tonges again no problem and I think he appreciates having much more space to roam around.
Anyways, I put a few roaches in his food dish and stuck a grape in there for the roaches to eat in case he didn't get to them for a bit- since he was in his burrow. I came back an hour later, and both the roaches, AND the grape where GONE! I know the roaches didn't eat the grape that quickly as there were only a few in there, so I'm thinking he must have gotten into a feeding frenzie and downed the grape as well
. Note to self- do not leave food in the dish for the roaches.
Also, over the past few days I've noticed Toothless watches TV?? His enclosure is set up so that he can clearly see the TV from his basking spot, and he seems to sit there and watch the TV screen when a show is on. I'm not quite sure exactly what he sees, but its obvious that he notices the TV because during action scenes his head will move around with the movement on the screen, and if something moves fast, he gets a bit excited (probably thinks its some sort of food?).
One quick question- he has his main basking spot with 2 50 watts that reaches 160, and there's another 50w over a branch on the bottom level just to keep the ambient temps in the proper range that reaches 125. Its not really a proper basking spot since it only covers half his body, but I do see him occasionally sitting under that one light. Would it be beneficial to put two lower wattage halogens over that branch in stead of the one 50w so that he has a proper basking spot on that log since he uses it as one anyways? Can you even get 25w halogens? What are your thoughts?
