yep, he has a basking spot near the top of the tank that's usually around 85 degrees.

Mordin is active and healthy so I'm sure he COULD be tank fed, but I'm worried if I do he might ingest substrate? I have EcoEarth which I know is supposed to not cause impaction, but it still worries me so I bowl feed just to be safe. Plus I like the bowl because it makes feeding fast and simple, I don't have to touch the bugs, and I can monitor how many crickets he eats and not have to worry about them dying in the tank, or hiding somewhere he can't reach.

Maybe I could try tong feeding him just until the bump on his nose heals? I'd think it would be hard to get the crickets out of the container with tongs without having a bunch escape though.
