When they finally decided to start eating dubia roaches is when they started to grow fast.
Thank you! My Humphrey is about 2/3 grown at about 150gm. He won't eat insects though - fruit and CGD only for him - but despite that, he does eat well and he's growing well.

They really are like bearded dragons - in a gecko sort of way, lol. And almost just as big. I was wanting a beardy but I didn't want to have to do the bug thing. When I started looking into the leachies and found they could just eat CGD, I thought this was the way to go. I am soooo glad I did!!! Humphrey is personable and loves to be held. He'll sit on my shoulder for hours at a time and he'll even wear a little harness I fashioned out of a few strips of fleece. Incredible!! I'll have to post a pic of that....

What I can't get over is how SOFT they are. Their wrinkly skin and feet pads feel like rose petals! You truly haven't lived until you've felt those great big gecko-feet padding all over you.....
