Yeah, I wish I had a scale handy today. But I work at a pet store, and the scale there is accurate to less than a gram. We use it for weighing rats, guinea pigs, et cetera. I can get you guys a weight by tomorrow afternoon.

As for his feeding regimen, in the last three weeks I've cut down to only giving live food 2 days per week. This was after my coworker told me he was obese. I gave perhaps 2 dozen large, gut-loaded crickets each time. And salads every day, just like always. When he was younger, I fed live food every day.

Given his age and size, what sort of feeding regimen would you suggest?
