Burrow has been constructed under the basking concrete slab. Goes pretty deep from what I could see (deeper than shown in the pics, they have done more construction).
Dunno if anyone is still checking this thread, but I'm using the forums as a personal journal I guess.
A little more than double the price of yellow ackies...Thanks guys. They are getting big already. Eating around 40 big crickets a day. I feed like 30 with the tongs and throw ten in to watch them hunt. Male is sort of lazy, and doesn't enjoy tong feeding, but he will crawl on my hand, and let me pet the monitor sweet spot on his neck. Female spazzes completely when I try to touch her, but will eat straight out of my fingers without tongs, and leaps through the air while hunting....Fun stuff.
This was the third cup of turk roaches, they were fat and lazy at this point. Female went into her burrow and he sat out to bask. I'll post the video of what happened before this as soon as it uploads.
A few updated pics I took today. They are in the cage I setup for the tristis trio I was supposed to get. Having a front opening enclosure with glass they can view out from, the behavioral changes are significant. The male will crawl up my arm and go in my sleeve and hang out and go back into his enclosure on his own if I leave an arm "bridge".
An enclosure pic, yes there is a sandy mixture in there and that is a nest box. Humidity is super high and the two floor / large enclosure with lots of shade gives so many temp gradients They can have a resting place out of sight in temps from 68 to 95.
I leave that one 60 watt lamp on 24 hours, the rest of the floods are on 12 on a thermostat if it drops below 70 they will turn on but it never does. The large 48" fluorescent is also on a 12 hour timer. Hard to take pictures in the day due to the amount of light.
