The male ATB I got about a month ago has only eaten one pinky for me since I got it. That time I had to put him in a deli cup along with his meal and by the next morning. But since then it hasn't eaten. I tried feding it the pinkie fresh out of hot tap water. It won't even strike at it. Although he has no problem striking at me. I again tried the deli cup and for last 2 weeks it hasn't worked. I tried antagonizing him by touching him in various places along his body with the pinky to get him to strike and nothing.
The humidity is very high in the cage, I don't have an accurate humidy range but it cage fogs easily with little misting , plus I mist their(the female's cage too seperate cages) cages twice a day. the temps in the cage ranges from 83 (hot) to 73(cool)His cage is nicely furnished, climbing tree, plant life(live philadendrom), soak bowl. I'm using the reptibark as substrate.
I'm using the same cage set up for my female ATB and she is eating like a hog.
What I've done now is to put the male in a 10 gal aquarium with just a simple stick to climb on, covered with a damp towel and misting.trying to see if he is being overwhelmed by a nicely appointed cage.
Any other ideas? [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
