These guys eat a good number of things including mice crickets roach's birds and most other bugs. The pair I kept for years ate small rats mice and crickets for the most part but occasionally I gave them hissing roaches which they seemed to like chewing on as well. They were quite a bit bigger than what you describe yours to be so stick to the smaller items. What size cage is it in? They need a lot of room with descent vertical space. Proper hide spots are critical. When i switched out wooden boxes for actual hollow logs it made a huge difference in their comfort and security. Provide branches for climbing and a basking spot of at least 150 degreesF. They really appreciate a deep layer of leaflitter at least eight to ten inches deep. Kept moist this will help maintain sufficient humidity which is very important with this species. Of course this all demands a good sized cage to be sure but that's what it takes to keep these guys properly. Hope this helps some. How are you keeping it now?
