Hi guys! Lately I have noticed a few changes in Rex that seem a bit odd to me, but hopefully you guys will tell me just how "normal" this is. When I feed Rex, I give him his greens piled on a plate with a scoop of his chopped squash/fruit, etc. Lately, he has decided he ONLY wants to eat the greens. He will gobble them down, and leave the squash mixture there. Used to be he would devour the whole plate, and when he was empty I would refill and he would eat that too. I have started giving him the squash first, and when I'm satisfied that he has eaten enough of that, I will pile on some greens. Of course, once I do that, he eats all the greens and leaves the remainder of the squash there. Also, about 2 weeks ago, he decided he wouldn't eat the squash AT ALL, so I started cutting the pieces a little bigger and now he'll eat them again, but only if there's no greens on the plate with it. Is it just that our little guy is growing up? He's been with us a year this month, and he was about 5" SVL when we got him, so I'm not sure of his exact age. Other than this "eating disorder" he's doing great....really healthy, great coloring, poops normal, little pistol!!

Thanks in advance!
