- Handling - never except to check the weight (1 time every two week or every month max.. look at the nails.. only crazy people manipulate theses monsters )
- Feeding - Crickets are the 1st feeder, gut loaded with superload and vegetable and occasionally yolk 3 time a week about 10-15
- Supplements - vitamin A (from the drugstore) preformed 1/2 pills a month, calcium 1 every 2 week dusted on the feeders (same than last years and the eggs was super well calcified so I keep the low dusting)

- Fecal Description - white + 1 up to 4 ovale brown digested compacted feeders soaked in kind of a transparent fluid, parasites tests ares performed every 6 month, last 2 checkup are negative so she is clean now. In the past she got several different parasites (nyctotherus, protozoaires, pinworms and one "what the *$& is this ?! parasite)
