Welp. Good to know! lol. Ah well.
Still a very cool species to keep. Bear in mind they are sight hunters and quite capable of pinpointing your weak spots(watch that thing around your face). They'll eat pretty much anything they can overpower, including snakes. I don't think they're bred much in captivity so it's probably wild caught, likely as a youngling, but has since tamed down a bit as I see no blood flowing in the pictures. In my limited experience(WC juveniles when I was a kid) they do best in large, naturalistic setups. Kept otherwise I could seldom get the suckers feeding.
