What a cutie pie! I like how the first couple times she looked startled, like she might put up her frill. I wouldn't mind having one if they stayed that size.

Maggie is very healthy looking. I love her pattern. Does she take feeders not in your hand too? That's pretty neat she will take them right from your fingers.

She will run around and catch her food too, but it's cleaner for me to hand feed them and not risk leaving any hiding in her enclosure. It also ensures that she gets them still well coated in calcium and vitamins, before they've had a chance to rub it off. Crickets also tend to nibble on lizards at night and can do some damage if left roaming.

I agree with you there Steve.

Well that's good she takes them using both methods. You can tell she is very well cared for and her hand-feeding times look like her favorite time of day lol I had my beardie acclimated to take them from my fingers too for all of the reasons you mentioned, but he was also acclimated to feed in a feeding tub in case I went away and the pet sitter didn't want to hand-feed.

How old is the beautiful Maggie now? How do you like the astro turf for a substrate with regards to cleaning and function? I've only used tile and reptile carpet before, but I had been considering the turf.

She's coming up on 6months old now The turf is great - really easy to keep clean and also easy to remove for a deep clean.

Sounds good I'll give it a try. If it works out well I kind of wanted to add it to some wooden ramps I made for them to climb on. It might give them more grip
