Caught a wonderful moment between my youngest son and an increasingly massive Greenie today

Feeding after another successful molt (got stuck in the very last bit but doesn't seem to have done any harm), which turns out not to have been the last one which was a big surprise!!

Thank you!

Snap! Attempted to do him justice with my phone and a magnifying glass 😅

Hi everyone! I am Matt from (near) Leicester, UK and I'm a very recent addition to keeping pets of any sort let alone exotic insects - decided this would be a great way to familiarise myself with insects and pets and a good introduction for my two boys (6y&2.5y). We have just got a Giant Asian...
