He looks diesel!!

4 to 5 months? He looks really big for that age, but hey if he is, more power to em'!!

And 40-50 crickets/nightcrawlers lol? Isn't that a bit OD? Lol, I mean I know nothing about an adult pyxie's appetite so what do I know...But he looks awesome man, I really want a male someday! Good luck w/ him!!

He looks good. That's a lot of food. How often do you feed him? If it's too often, you're going to need a second job.

he looks good but looks like one of those Captive Bred giants that tops out at 6-7.5 inches and then seems like their growth gets stunted. The only captive breds i have ever seen over 7 inches are OBESE,fat,lazy and unhealthy. Thats pretty sad because these guys get 9-10 inches in the wild.

Thanks. Yeah it is haha; he eats every 2 nights for 15-20 minutes in a seperate bin. I go through 250 crickets and a 25 night crawler tub a week with him. I'm kind of relying on my parents right now - they're supportive. I do feel bad though because he's costly for feeding (I get allowance money at home that barely covers the cost of his food).

I picked him up in the beginning of August when he was around a 2-3 months old. So that's why I'm assuming he's between the ages of 4-6 months old juvenile.

Dude he eats so much it's ridiculous - this is for 15-20 minutes as much as he can eat and then he's content. That's when he gives me the cue to set him back in his tank (I feed him in a separate bin). I know he's not obese and he digests all his food easily in a couple of days... After that he defecates a whirlwind in his bowl. Also I add into his diet a frozen-thawed hopper once every couple of months.

Thanks. You'll get one, don't worry.
