thanks Pretty and MX, I will follow your instructions. He has not eaten yet, but he is not too shy and curious. Here is a pic.

Looks really nice , hope he/she settles for you and let us all know how you get on , i have never kept the tree monitors (yet) so i have a lot to learn about them before i even attempt to.

About 6’’, I don’t want to disturb him to measure.He still has not eaten, but he comes out and basks. I have been spraying him, but he doesn’t like it yet.Any ideas on tempting foods?The woman I got him from, unfortunatly, was feeding him turkey cat food.Also mealworms and wax worms. I know it may take a while for him to eat, but you know how it is, I can’t relax until he does

Try cutting up some pinks or fuzzy mice....and just leave them in a little dish for it to investigate. I wouldnt stress it by trying to tong feed it the mentioned food items.

Today I put a dish in there with chopped pinks,dead crickets, live crickets, mealworms and dubia. If he eats, I will not know, but that does not matter for now.

The only foods my green trees will eat are crickets, super worms and lobster roaches. They refuse everything else. Even other roaches, they only like the lobster roaches.

I guess I got lucky with both of mine because they both ate right away as soon as put them in their new cage and they also drank water right away too when I misted them. The trick is to mist them lightly, aim for right next to his head in front of him and he should flick his tongue out to taste it and then start drinking. Mine drink this way once or twice every day. Good luck!

Being he has been looking good and very curious, I assume he had been eating, but today after 1 week, I can relax, I saw him eat a cricket.
Thanks you’all, Joe

I didn’t physically see a baby Kimberley eat (x 14 of them!!!!) for a month and I was extremely nervous about that too. LOL Then I saw crap daily and the fact that they were growing very quickly and just relaxed from there. Now that they are a few months old, they eat right as I’m dumping insects in on them from the cup. Glad you saw it Joe and can relax! ;)
