this is my holdback male from my last clutch. he is just over 3 months old and he's this huge. He eats and drinks A LOT even with me not letting him eat as much as he wants. I can see him hunting for food that's not there or just watches me in hopes I'll feed him more. He's almost as large as my 8 month old female! I don't think it's due to much I'm doing, it's probably just genetic. the father is pretty big, but he wasn't nearly that big at 3 months. So, i just wanted to show off Orbit Jr

about ten medium (1/2 inch?) crickets. i'll give him waxworms and the occasional superworm to keep some variety. sometimes when he is intently hunting for food thats not there i'll give him a few more bugs. i don't know what his true limit is, because i won't let him eat as much as wants. he drinks lots of water too, more than my other veilds. he nibbles at his hibiscus plant sometimes. i still have one of his sisters too, and she is normal size. She'll only eat 3-4 of the same size crickets a day, and she wont eat more than that.
