Gracilior!

I was checking in on him after his shower and he thought I wouldn’t be able to find him:ROFLMAO: he’s started eating already he seems to really like banded crickets, I wish I had a hornworm small enough for him:(

I knew you were joking and wasn't the least offended--you just gave me the perfect opening to put in a picture of a big old male in! ;)

I don't think you will be seeing many more graciliors in the US as I am in the process of stopping breeding. Enjoy them while you can.

:D ok good. Always glad to help get pics out there :ROFLMAO:. Also, kind of sad to hear your stopping breeding :(. When do you officially plan on shutting down?
 
He looks terrific but that's a lot of calcium you have on those feeders. Any vitamins mixed in or just calcium? Even plain calcium can trigger edema.
Its left over calcium I only gave him for that day I try not to overdo it. Most of it is completely dry and unless he bites at it might get more then he needs. I cleaned it out and is no longer in there. He also has his one small feeder with a drop of vitamin A in there.

For some reason, Vitamin A kills bugs incredibly fast. I hand feed or at l east make sure they get it at the start of feeding when I dose them. Give Vitamin A only once a month.

Uh oh, I have to start saving! ;)
 
UPDATE: My little gracilior has now had his second she’s since being with me and his colors and horns are looking very nice!

They do look a lot alike he is a sweet boy and I love him already.
Yea mine should be showing some of his horns next. He’s mine is not afraid of me at all. I started discoid breeding just for him. Have you happened to see his yellows flare up? Mine flared up a big part of his face and even a bit of his tail in a yellow/ gold I wish I could have taken a picture
