Nice man, mine is pretty much the same size as yours; maybe a little bit bigger. He's also got the head of a male. What do you feed yours and how much can he eat?

[Peachy]

A very weird diet ranging from crickets/nightcrawlers to all dubia till they ran out to mice for a week cause i went on vacation(that's why hes kinda fat) and now just nightcrawlers and sometimes mice. hes about 2 1/2 months old and i hope he becomes a GIANT.

In terms of quantity, ive fed him about 15 medium dubia, 50 crickets, 2 small mice, 1 small mouse and one small shrew. Not all at the same time btw, all separate feedings

Not a fan of stuffing them to death because I like to know he defacates normally, but i want fast growth and results.

Yeah mine's 2 1/2 months old right now as well. Me and you should record growth patterns haha. I haven't fed mine a small mouse yet, but probably going to feed him a pinkie this month. I only want to feed him a rodent once a month. Other than that I'm just feeding him large crickets, night crawlers, and superworms occasionally. Hopefully my dubia colony gets going soon, how come yours ran out? As long as your feeding him for 15-20 minutes 2-3 times a week, proper temps, and not excessive high in fat foods then you shouldn't have to worry about irregular defecating.

Got too lazy trying to grow my colony, so i just fed them all to Henry. He goes crazy for them. I really wanna go for hornworms/silkworms as a big part of his staple diet. Supposedly they have great nutritional quality and i think they would be good for my AFB

Yeah they're kind of expensive, but here's the nutritional value (Protein: 9% | fat: 3.07% | Calcium: 46.4mg/100g | Moisture: 85%). I was thinking about feeding them to mine as well every now and then.
