Well he's a shy guy so I couldnt keep exact track of how much he eats, but I've seen him eat , ill throw about 10 crickets in the cage and maybe catch him eating a couple but they disappear and I'm assuming he eats them, I was giving him too much d3 so I'm thinking this may have effected his growth. I'm hoping he will get bigger , ive been told different things on when they stop growing.
