Beebz's order of bugs came today. We had an argument over how he was going to eat his BSFL. He loves BSFL and hasn't had any for a while since the last batch went off. I wanted him to get off his basking rock and eat. He wanted me to put them in his mouth.
I try to lure him to the bowl. I feed him one then make a show of putting them in the bowl... Beebz looks at the bowl, he knows where they are, he wants me to get them for him. I drop one at the base of the basking platform.. He makes a show of thinking about going to get it.. stretches towards it a bit. Then looks back at me. He does not want to get down.
So I decided I'll get him down and place him next to the bowl. He clings to his rock and then runs to the back of his enclosure to put his face against the back wall to sulk.
I show him one of his new hornworms and he runs to eat it out of the bowl.. I barely even manage to get it into the bowl before he storms in there and chomps it. He is not lethargic. Not even lazy, but man is he stubborn. He looks at the BSFL.. looks at me. We have a staring contest for about 5 minutes.

*sigh* I took the worms out of the bowl one by one and put them in his mouth. I think I may created a have
slightly spoiled the dragon.
In my defense he is very persuasive!!
