I think I will hold off for a day, 2 days max, for adding feeders into the viv. From the look in the viv, there is only 2-3 crickets that are uneating, and I think thats because they hang out on the bottom of the viv. So i will just give it a day or 2 for them to hopefully make there way to where the gecko can see them. I will just make sure he has the baby food/calcium mix for those 2 days. He likes to hang off the top of the screen cage, and he looks like he might fall off from weight O.o

Video of my conradti:

It's not hugely entertaining, but I thought some might find it interesting anyhow. lol
These little guys are so laid back. They're active, sure, but they don't really interact with each other much. In this vid, the little female sees the other female at the back of the tank. She arches her back just slightly, and slides away a bit...and that's all. lol

Here's a second vid. This one has some bug-eating. L. conradti do spend time running around the tank, and they can be quite active...but the activity is interspersed with these periods of stillness, as you can see. They'll just stop in position and sit there...then move again...then sit... lol
One of them stared at a fruit fly for like 2 minutes straight yesterday without a twitch, before deciding to go get it.

Actually, they're different from williamsi in a lot of ways--social interaction is the biggest one. They really do virtually ignore one another.
