I caught mine in my front yard. He eats butterflys as well as crickets, but I can only get them during the summer time. I thought about feeding him caterpillars, but I wasn't sure if they'd be poisonous for him or anything like that. I tried meal worms and super worms and he wasn't interested in either.

You can see pictures of a few of the rough greens I've caught in my yard by going to the pethobbyist gallery and searching for my name (or follow the link below, it should take you there). None of the photos are pictures of the one I am keeping as a pet, though.

I'll try to take a picture of the cage and post it.

FYI, I was keeping 2 of them together and the larger one ate the smaller one (about half the size). It didn't digest well which leads me to believe that he didn't mean to eat it (ie. not part of his normal diet).

If you are going to have babies, then you should keep them separate from adults.
