I have had this dude for 3 years now and recently I realized he(?) has white spots on him.
For summer I had his tank somewhere cool and the lighting wasnt the best so maybe I missed them because of it.
Temperature stays around 20C, humidity is 50-70 depending on where you are in the enclosure. I feed him 3-4 turkestan roaches or equivalent amount of dubia/mealworms/superworms every Monday and Thursday gutloaded.
I am planning on getting crickets and eisenia fetida(I know, not recommended but they are the only feeder worms I can get besides the ones previously mentioned), keeping the soil damper, and changing the water more frequently.
I am wondering if it would be possible to use an aquarium filter, if I should change my substrate, and if I should start vitamins etc.?
I messaged my vet and I'm waiting for a response.
Enclosure looks bare because I emptied it while moving.
I would like to know the sex of this dude too, if possible.
P.S I am planning on putting him on a diet as well but I'm not sure how to go about it. I used to feed him once a week and he maintained a nice weight so I might adapt that again.
