Lil' Guy, the Ambanja

[del33]

Thought I'd share pics and a quick story of our Ambanja, Lil' Guy...

I got him last summer and he did not look good at all. His back seemed like it was broken and he had the weirdest posture. He seemed healthy enough and active but just looked,, for the lack of a better description,, "jacked up". Here's what he looked like.

Not one to be discouraged, I took this as a challenge despite other members' opinions to return him. I just felt like it was an issue that I/we could overcome. So anyway, after months and months of patience, I'd like to share some recent pics. He went through a 2 1/2 month fasting phase where he only would eat one insect per day regardless of what was offered. He is a very very very,,,, did I mention very, slow grower.. He is a very special guy though so... here's Lil' Guy

Thanks guys. With his appetite back, I'm really trying to fatten him up to make up for lost time.. haha

He's such a handsome little man. I am so glad that you kept him. Feed him some silks and horns. They will put some weight on him.

He's really loving his hornworms.. He's also eating dubias now which is a coin toss depending on how he feels that day.


---He just recently popped a shed.. Thought I'd share. I know I've been whoring my chams lately but hey,, I'm on a long vacation
