You tanks look good. They have lots of interesting places to go. I am sure they have developed little habits about where they sleep and where they bask and stuff like that.
Charlie and Jack usually will walk up to the camera cause they think I'm going to pick them up. They are my buddies. But the girls will dart or recede into where they are hiding. That one picture of Kate is the first good picture I've ever gotten of her. I don't think the breeder I got them from had enough time to dedicate to handling them and that's why they are so skittish. Claire is warming up to me though. She doesn't wiggle as much anymore.
Oh they have lots of hiding places. Each tank has at least 2 hiding places and they have their favorite places. Claire is always in the spaceship or in her moss box and Charlie in the spaceship or the hiding rock like in the picture.
Jack has the same hiding rock that he likes and he also lays under his grapevine.
Kate is always under her rock.
And they don't really have specific basking spots. it moves from day to day.
Millworm Update:
Back in April after I got the girls I had a bunch of millworms turn into the pupates. So I set them off to the side gave them oats and lets them turn into beetles. since then all the beetles have pretty much all died but I have hundreds small millworms now. I could start seeing them about 4 weeks ago and now they are about the size of the smallest ones you could buy at the store. A few more weeks and they will be big enough to feed to my geckos. I already have another set of pre-starter millworms I fed until they turned into the pupates. They are just starting to become beetles. I'm hoping this will end up being cheaper than having to buy them at the store. So far I think it will be. I spend about $6 a week on buying millworms but the oats and a 3 baby carrots cost about $4. I bought the oats back in April and I still haven't had to replace any. They eat them down until it's a fine power but it will take them a long time to eat though. they aren't even close as it is.
