    I got a new (bigger) water dish and will post pics of it shortly. I also got crickets and mealworms, and have been dusting them with calcium powder. I remove the crickets' back (jumping) legs as they are spiny! He's getting plenty of natural sunlight as well.

    He's been coming out of his hide more which is good, but remember when I said that his left arm was fractured? Well it healed but now he can't use it very well and it kinda just sticks out to the side. It also has some hard swelling around the break point... Almost as if the bone itself was growing around it. Will he be like this for the rest of his life? Is this a problem? His amputation is looking very good.

    About the amputation, is seems like he flesh is shrinking back a little as part of the healing process, leaving a little point of bone exposed. Should I remove it and will it cause him any pain if he walks on it?

    You should remove the bone. It'll press against the skin when he moves and cause pain and sores. Make sure you numb him up. Is there any necrosis? Any drainage? When you remove the bone, go ahead and take something sharp against the leg tissues. It might help better if pink healthy tissue is exposed verses mostly dead tissue. The arm probably didn't heal right, but if it doest seem to be causing him any issues I'd just leave it. If you could somehow get an x-ray of that area, that would really help and you ideas. I know that might be practically impossible though.
