They aren't the best with aim and once something is in that big mouth he is going to swallow it. Also if your going to keep the moss I would really try to get him tong feeding, there was guy on here a couple weeks ago that had a post about his frog having moss hanging out of its bum and he had to help the frog remove it. I know people keep them with moss but it is a risk.

Yeah, the moss is starting to get on MY nerves already as it sticks to everything and is hard to keep moist. The hornworms carry it around as well. I've tried to keep it mostly around the water dish but, yeah, that's not working out so well and I'll likely just remove it at this point.


The bedding was...ugh. Went to a local store instead of a chain store and they were nearly out of of EcoEarth so I grabbed that brick, then they had their own store brand that they claimed was 'exactly the same' and, yeah, it wasn't, it was husk. I was annoyed, to say the least, as I'd mixed both bricks since they were supposedly both the same and it wasn't noticeable that they weren't until they'd already been soaked. :|
That's been replaced since the pics were taken. They weren't too concerned that it wasn't the same; the answer I got was, "coconut based bedding is all the same."

Obviously, that's not the case, one is fiber, the other has big chunks of husk in it.

Good to know he's not overweight; I know they're supposed to be fat and round looking, but I've only ever seen babies before. This guy is big enough to go over the edges of my hand, so I wasn't quite sure if that was a normal adult size or if he was bigger than he should be.
