Right? Lol. Basically a little B. albiceps update: it's a little less tiny now and am happy to find it will take live food now. I attempted to feed it a live small mealworm on the 18th and it was definitely interested and digging it up but I guess confused also because it wouldn't bite into it, just dig it up (would just run away from any movement before molt). So after a couple hours I gave it a crushed mealworm and it nommed it happily (and now is FAT). Now it's two days later and I just happened to check on the T's and find little B. albiceps digging up the mealworm that has been burrowing around the enclosure enjoying dirt and well RIP original mealworm.There's no risk of complications cause by overeating with T's right?</blockquote>
