I have a reptile heat pad under the 9mm box, under the container. The 9mm box is a good all-around box, it's the most popular box in the country.

A little hard to identify from the photo. Nightcrawlers are your best bet. When you get a chance post up some well-lit photos and we'll see what you have there.

Love those blue shed eyes.

It happens, I've been where you are at. Same situation, I had to euthanize mom quickly. I still feel bad about the whole thing. That was 15 years ago.

Good to hear from you.

It sounds like you are doing all you can. Time will tell. I hope it all works out.

I think you are correct.

Released pet, possibly. Photos would be great.

That would be a question for your local government agency to answer.

Still active and alert? Probably nothing to worry about as long as he's not losing weight. Maybe try putting the mouse in the hide for a night and see what happens. Maybe try some fish, sometimes...

Gem has finished her 3rd shed in the last 6 weeks. She is growing like a weed and is a perfect female T. radix. The cap I used to put her food in is long gone. She eats her nightcrawlers whole...

Get a plastic lid, cut the worms and slugs into chunks. This was they won't go anywhere. Put the lid right outside the hide entrance. This was she won't have to come out to eat. Make sure she has...
