I found this guy in mid to late May. He was lurking around the hand dug pond that was dug for the goats. I think the massive amount of tadpoles had attracted him. He didn't complain when I got him out of the water and had no problem being in captivity. If it's in his water dish, he'll eat it.

The pictures above are after his last shed on June 25th. I'd have recent pictures, but he's in shed again. When I last measured him, he was about a foot long, but I think he's grown quite a bit since then. As it stands, I'm attempting to find a decent fish diet for him, I have about twenty frozen guppies of various sizes in the freezer, so I have a supply of food, along with access to breeders. He'll eat pinkies (I tossed a thawed one into his water dish out of curiosity along with two guppies. The guppies got ate first, but he left the pinkie. I decided to leave it in until bed time. When I came back about an hour later, no pinkie).

He's still not a fan of being handled. He prefers to run and hide, but calms down once I have him in my hands. What's great is that he doesn't hide when I'm looking into his tank. Instead, he sits there watching me, occasionally tilting his head, almost curiously.
