I tried to offer Seeley some tilapia I got last night. He may have eaten a bite or two...it's very hard to tell with him because he is such a shy eater...I have to put his food on a dish and literally cover his enclosure with a towel in order to get him to eat most of the time. His eyes are cloudy now though...so he will shed soon. I put the poor little guy back in with Cee Cee for now because her humidity is up in her enclosure and she has the reptibark and many log hides that he can scratch against. He was just all sad hiding in his little cardboard box in a pile of carefresh by himself...and there isn't as much humidity or things for him to rub against in his tank. Now he is hiding under a log in Cee Cee's tank. She is funny because she gets very protective of him. If I reach in her tank for him...she will start flipping her head around frantically and usually give me a couple of her false strikes. She will follow my hand if I lift him out and start looking all over like I took her baby or something. So cute. I think Hermes may be getting geared up for a shed too. I think maybe I have learned to identify some albino signs of an impending shed. If you look at an albino in red light....which is what I keep on him in his tank, he loves it...you can see their skin get rough looking before a shed. The eyes do not look different...although I think maybe his face looks darker. I will have to compare after he sheds.

The one thing I have noticed about Hermes in comparison to my easterns is that he prefers to stay in the warm side of his enclosure at all times. He never goes to the cool side, except to explore or get water. Even when he wants to cool down a bit or hide, he just goes inside his hide on the warm side under his red lamp. The temps on his warm side stay around 82 degrees. He also spends most of his time up at the top of his hanging plant near the lamp. Has anyone else who has albinos noticed this about them?
