    Getting big!

    I just went to check on Sunny, my mid-2009 SHTCT girl, and couldn't believe how she's grown recently... so I threw her on the scale, and she's around 42g now. I was actually planning to re-home her or just keep her as a solo lizard, but now I'm getting the itch to breed this pretty girl. How big do they need to be before introducing a male into the cage? I seem to remember 50g, but can't find anything definitive on that.

    Also, what would you recommend breeding her with? And should I bump her up to larger prey at this point? She's currently feeding on medium mealworms and (occasionally) med crickets, but I'm guessing she's about ready for something bigger - maybe super worms, or just large mealworms? She appears to be in shed right now, but here are some pics of my big baby:





    Here's what she is eating now... and no, I don't usually leave worms on the bedding.
