I think together we solved your problems.So your leo has proper heat and is eating now.Yeah the carpet is thick and doesnt allow for the heat to go all the way through..You have proper heat = a leo that eats.Great news.Try not to handle him too much at first.Try smaller crickets if u want so he gets used to the crickets.

I loathe catching crickets... he doesn't seem to mind being moved... he actually climbed onto my finger ... didn't like that I moved once he did... but he will get over it... eventually? I have to move Ryuu too.... don't little crickets bite like big crickets?

Glad I started out OK with this little guy... =D

Grats! If you prefer just using the mealies I would just do that since you know already he knows where they are. I'm not a big fan of catching crickets :p

As for handling since they're so small it takes a bit for them to get used to it :)
