Guin and Lance

have arrived from bubbasherps

shortly before valentine's day I got these two amazing little argentine gems

it's not often, but I am speechless. they feel so delicate, they tickle and they are sooooo very curious

o.k., since all of my babies are b i g now

how do you go about feeding them the crickets, superworms >bugs

do you just put them in the enclosure since they won't stay in their goody dish

my angelrose does approve

my girl has to check out everyone and everything and make her 'mark'

superworms i feed them in a small container or use forceps and feed one at a time.

crickets i dust a put about 12 in till gone and then place more in

im sure glad angelrose likes them

no pics ? congrats on your new babies

.I put a little bit of calcium and vitamine powder in the bag where the crickets come in and shake them up.I put them in a separate clean bin and then put the Tegu in there.I would recommend feeding the Tegus separate so they don't start fighting over the food and get aggressive later on.Oh,I for got you like yours wild

.I do the same thing with the worms.It helps a lot to bulk order them.I use a 10 gallon tank with a lot of oat meal in it for the worms and two bowls.One to put the food gel and water gel in it.I also have a 10 gallon tank for the crickets.I put some white paper towels on the bottom of the tank and put a bunch of paper towels rolls in there or some card board egg cartons.I pay about $19 or $20 for 1000 yes one thousand crickets.When I ran out one time I payed at the pet store almost $5 for 36 crickets.

uhhhh Jeff, thank you for the compliment

the way they are eating those fat hoppers and Guin ate a little ground turkey today they will be big enough to walk up and see you

but you can come see them anytime.
so far Guin eats alot more then Lance. Should I seperate them when it comes to eating

I have offered them banannas, cantelope,blueberries and they lick it and walk away is there a way to introduce them to fruits

as you know argentines are new to me

they are soooo curious, friendly, sweet and they walk all over me

Angelrose makes me her warm pillow to lay on so I don't let her see this ...shhh

txrepgirl hi

I am ' techphobic ' I'm lucky I can log on

but I am working on it, since I have been on this forum I have come a long way

I appreciate you telling me how to do the crickets and worms very much cause as I said all mine are into the big stuff

and where do you get all of those crickets and worms for that price

wow. oh, and I should seperate them when it comes to eating

I have noticed Guin will grab alot more of the food mostly and Lance is a little more laid back but he eats

hey jeff

I really hope the surgery goes well and get back to these herps they need people like you

I like Lance's lifestyle

he wakes up basks, yawns, has some water and then a couple hoppers basks then over to the uvb then into the hide for bed, I'm jealous

as for Guin she's a night girl like angelrose she had some ground turkey with egg and a sprinkle of calcium/D3.
they both drank the juice of the fruit I put in there

I didn't think everybody would keep me this busy and I am looking at a RTB

First of all, you should give some fruit to the cricket ( I guess you already did it lol)They will get some of the vitamin of it which is a debut lol. Reptile always love the fruit juice, but sometime not the fruit himself (funny isn't?).

The best way to introduce it, is to put in rightly in the meat itself (using his ignorance lol).THey will eat it and get the vitamin.

I am going to try something new.

My Blue tongue skink doesn't like the veggetables (a bit like me

). What I'm going to do is, put all the vegetables in a mixter and transformed it into a kind of pudding. I will put it in the meat or in/on the fruit so they eat it without knowing it lol.
