Gremlin finally eats from the tongs!

When Gremlin first joined our family, he was very shy. He considered eating a private bodily function, and refused to eat anything unless I put it inside a cardboard toilet paper tube and left the room. He has gradually grown bolder, and now, when I start rummaging around in his enclosure, he comes racing out, periscoping to find his food. But until now, he still hadn’t eaten from the tongs. I have had to leave the food on a plate (actually a Pringles lid), and usually still leave the room. He is a sassy boy, and we love him so much!

Looks like Reptilinks to me.

Yup, frog-and-quail Reptilinks. We vary his diet with them, plus pinkies, silversides, and occasionally hard boiled egg.

My new baby took great offense when I tried to use tongs. Bluff striking and hissing. How dare I!? She prefers to eat from a paper plate.

I also prefer eating from a paper plate compared to tongs, so that's fair
