This one was born on 3/13/03 and already weighs 25 grams! The orange is coming out more and more with each shed.

Geez that big that fast? How are you keeping it? Like what is your feeding schedule and what are you using to get it that big. Mine always seem to take so long to grow.

I keep mine in a rack system that has heat tape that runs along the bottom back of the rubbermaid container. I have the rheostat set to keep it at 92 on the hot side and 75-78 on the cool side. The substrate is just papertowels for now until they get bigger. I feed mine crickets daily, coated in miner-all, and mealworms about once a week. I feed them until they are full and are not interested anymore - usually about 5-8 crickets each.

Wow that is a really nice tang! Do you sell these ones or are you keeping him for next year?

This one is definatly a keeper! I do have some others that are growing up to be quite nice also though.

We currently have some that we are growing out a little bit before selling them. We are keeping some of them for our own stock to breed next year. We also have many more incubating. The ones that we will be selling should become available over the next few weeks.

Ok. I forgot to add something in the other post. I have seen on your site that you have had a few full stripe leos but they have all been incubated for female. I was wondering if you will have any full stripes that you have incubated for males?

Thanks,

I started my male incubator a little late this year. My males are just starting to hatch out. I only have 4 eggs from that colony incubating for male right now. I will be adding more as they are laid.
