:--get ready... if female you are going to need to build a pond (I hope you live in florida),

why do females need a pond? It's that much bigger? . . .

They can eat all this stuff when they're this little? I guess i'd have to chop up the cooked meat.

Right now, he's not eating. but I just bought a heater. I'll see if that helps.

Where can I get anacris?
