To follow up on Tim's caution...It has been my experience (13 years of maintaining & breeding a couple of generations) that the younger ones like the one pictured with the background of bare skin are much more likely to bite than the adults are.



They are fine animals. You should get years of enjoyment from them. Make sure you are ready to up-size your caging. They get up around eight feet.



Be careful at feeding time. The term "feeding frenzy" may have been invented to describe gigas. No need whatsoever for live food with these.
