=D Do you think his tank is big enough and alright looking? Should I add anything else in there for him? He loves his worms. Should I vary his diet and get crickets when the worms run out and vice versa?

yet your happy seeing meal worms being eaten alive!!!!! they deserve to live to you know!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
just kidding
Of course they deserve to die. They are worms.
I want to go back in there and just watch him but I dont want to disturb him too much since he's nocturnal and would get annoyed by the light going on and off, me thinks.

do a search for "meal worms" and goto "Urban Myth or not" it was discussed there
So does anyone know if AHGs will eat any type of dead food? I was thinking of starting up a parasite free colony but it would obviously be alot harder if they needed live food all the time.
AHGs love lights because they attract food, hanging around a light all night is 'natural' behaviour for these guys. The best thing to do would be to get a large plastic tub(or maybe your tank) take off the lid and paint the top 75mm with fluon(can be purchased from www.herpshop.com.au) and have a light setup over it and bugs will automatically fall in and feed it. If you do this you will probably find some of its friends come to visit especially if its a male.

It shouldnt be unless your local council has laws against it or there is some petshop law that makes it illegal. They are not a declared pest.
I asked the Department of Natural Resources and Water(Queensland) and they said it was ok unless there are local laws against it. I posted it here a few weeks back you can also keep hares too.
They basically fall into the same category as dogs, cats, canetoads, axoltls, horses etc.

Might be an option if you cant see animals being used for food

Not with the fluon around the top they cant grip on it. vaseline may work too but i havnt tried it with them.
If you post a pick of underneath i can tell you if it is actually a he, unless it is too small. Unless you have noticed it calling that is a dead give away that its a male too.
