I just got two new very young peachthroats and got them set up with some heat and places to hide last night. Today I picked up 20 adult crickets and threw them in to see if they would eat since one looked a little sluggish.
The two little guys jumped up faster than I could see and tore through those crickets in less than 30 seconds! Sometimes grabbing more than one at a time as if the one in front of them would get away while they were chewing. It was awesome to watch how stealth and quick they were. Definately a reminder of why I love monitors so much. Their personalities came alive. So off to the store I went to buy 40 more crickets. No problem, they took care of those as well. Very excited for this new adventure.

Nice, hope you have fun with them. Here is one of mine. (a male)

As a baby way back when.

and a recent one.

Cheers

He's quite a looker! Have you had any success breeding them?

My female lays eggs but my nesting sucks. I hope to get it down though.
