Clyde was sexed at the pet shop, though I might want to double check, just in case. If I can get a photo without traumatizing him, I'll post it to you.



He's gone for grapes, crickets, and a few Florida cockroaches that we removed from the garage... I'll be trying him on the green we use for our Uro mali today. At the shop, he was fed crickets almost exclusively, but he seems to take to other food readily.



We have him housed in a 4x2x2 temporarily, which is much larger than his old 10 gal tank (!) at the pet store. I'm going to build him a habitat, probably 6x3x2, in a week or so.



Riverbanks, you say?



Clyde is fascinated by his (8-inch, shallow) water bowl, which has about an inch of water in it. At the moment, he's resting on

its edge, dangling his front feet in the water. He's done this off and on all day, sometimes one foot, sometimes two.
