I got a dekay from Wayne about 2 months ago and he freaked out all the time. He wouldnt eat for me for about a month then FINALLY HE ATE. wooo hooo. I was so happy. Now he eats very well for me. He sometimes freaks out but not as bad. He was just scared and plus he was in a new home and such. It takes time. Now my wc Dekay is a sweetheart. He/she LOVES to be held and eats so well for me. I can take him/her with me on a long walk and he/she will wrap around my fingers or curl up in my palm and sit there. Loves attention also. I go up to the tank and say hi to everyone and here comes Bennie. lol
