I go in at night and toss in a few dozen crickets fo rthem to hunt, but hand feed 2 of my 3 henkeli, superworms.
The one male does not like them , but Barkley and my female Sindar, go wild for them.

It's kind of a rush feeding them by hand, as they really jump at ya with alot of force and nail the worm
Just amazes me how powerful there jaws are, first time Barkley grabbed the worm from my fingers I flinched it was so SNAPPY, LOL

Now they look forward to it and I have to admit I do as well.

Man they really SNAP like little Gators, LOL
