    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bowel movements??

Just wondering cause not sure how well they have been eating but if I dont see any fecal matter then im gonan get even more worried..Open for answers on how often they go to bathroom..

Thanks

Babies poo daily, even multiple times a day. According to your earlier posts you turned the heat lamp off because it was too hot. Be sure to get another light, probably a 60-100 watt household bulb will do (start with a 60 watt, monitor it with a digital thermometer with a probe, if it isn't hot enough, try a 75, etc.) Their lack of heat is probably causing their metabolism to slow. These guys are still growing, I wouldn't ever reccomend them going too long without heat...

Heres an update.. I went ands got a 75w bulb that actually is way brighter then the little black light I had since then they have been moving more up and down from basking spot.. I soaked them both for 5 minutes and one of them started having air bubbles come out from under its tail and then VIOLA poop or something came out.. It had a white tip but then changed to greenish soft substance..I assume this is poop..

Anyhow I figured ok lets try and feed them.. Well one of them chomp on 4 baby cricks and stopped. the other one ate one at thats it.. so I let them sit in there containers, went for A quick swim came back in still hadnt eaten anymore.. But the one that I have only seen Eat once and that was ONE CRICKET.. had a giant poop in his box.. heres what it looked like..Again it had a white tip but this one was brownish green more solid and longer..

I noticed white specks on there wood branch and heat rock as well so sounds like there going to bathroom alot..maybe there stiil adjusting and thats why they arent eating a bunch.. Tell me what you think bout the pic ok..Again my camera isnt the best so I can get real in there and focus..Im working on getting a new one..

Looks fine, but how big is it? Give us a size comparison next time. Also, they should be eating WAY more than four crickets at a time. It could be just the stress of settling in, but if their appetite doesn't pick up within a week, I would be concerned.
