Just wanted to update you all.
My pixie I think was just getting used to the move (from New Mexico back to Tijuana (San Diego area)). Now he does eat everything in sight but I give him a rest from food every few days as I'm worried he'll explode!I feed him gut-loaded crickets (dusted of course), superworms, canadian nightcrawlers (since last week), and smaller earthworms. He also got a VERY large hornworm a few days ago. I have yet to try a pinkie but will once he gets even bigger. I have found it is so much easier to feed him in enclosure. I put the moving prey item in front of him and he dives for it rarely eating any eco earth. If I take him out of his enclosure like I used to and put him in a plastic shoebox with crickets and other prey items, he'll eat a few but then he gets focused on trying to get out and loses interest in eating. Where as he eats more readily in his own enclosure. Is that normal? The weather has consistently been warm lately and I think that has helped too. Thanks all for your tips.
