awesome species and they do get large. they love giant moths btw. get some horn worms and read up on rearing them to moths its not too hard.

i feed him hornworms but he doesnt like them to much. he bites the juice out then just spits the rest of the worm out. ive been thinking about raising hornworms but i only have my 2 lizards that eat them so i dont go through to many. ill try and get a video of his hornworm de juicing technique haha.
