The difference a week can make.

I got this little guy (calling it a him until I can sex) about a week ago and the difference in him is already noticeable. He has put visible weight on in his tail and you can't tell by the pictures and the fact he is getting ready to shed but his colors are much brighter. I don't think he was getting very good care, but he is now :D!

* The first picture is the day I got him and the 2nd and 3rd were taken today, the fourth was just for fun, he was checking out his moist hide.

They had 3 babies in the same tank and this one seems to be more of the wait until the food comes to me type, so I figure with the others in there, he wasn't getting quite enough to eat.

Thanks! He is getting chunky already! The humid hide is called a Herp Haven Multi-function Reptile Hideaway. I found it on Amazon, it's a small... I should of went with a medium because he will probably outgrow it. It comes apart for cleaning and changing out moss or whatever you use in your moist hide, it's really convenient. I tried getting one to use for my bell but she wouldn't use it, she likes the tupperware one I made for her.

Yeah I have a redneck tupperware one now too. My only question is, wouldn't it be harder to heat if you have one like that? Or do you have it on a UTH or what?

I use an UTH as a heat source. I keep my moist hides in the middle. I have to use a 40 watt black out heat bulb at night, my house is older and it gets pretty chilly at night and the bulbs keep the air temps right at 70-72 and I put the bulbs over the moist hides and that's when I see my leos in them.
