I'm trying out with silkworms for the first time, using a group of some juvenile C.ensicauda (from Tokashiki Island) as guinea pigs. Two of them attacked the worms but spit them out, while the other two woofed them down.

Here is one of them that took to the worms:

This one spit the worm out:

My Onychodactylus japonicus also ate silkworm, after giving the worm a vigorous shaking, as is typical of this species

lol, that first one almost looks like he's about to lick his lips.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
