Snack time

Didn't get the whole act but it was a roach at one time!

That is an awesome picture!... One day I hope to care for one of those guys.

That is a photo contest winner if you ask me. You should enter it. It would give the other picture of the Parson's a run for its money.

Boy am I jealous!

Thanks, That guy can put down full grown hissers!

My guys give them a crunch, and then down the hatch. This was a big Dubia disappearance vs. Male /
giant Hornworm vs. Female

That guy was 650 grams at the time and his last documented weight was 770. 950 would be pretty big but not impossible. That one is only 2 years old and he is bigger than one of my 5 year old males,so he still has some growing to do.

Hey Steve, There is nothing cooler than seeing them eat a huge roach or getting out of the way when the juice squirts out of a full grown hornworm!
By the way what is the weight on your pair?

I was just thinking I should get the scale out tonight. My big male was a little restless last night so I let him sleep under the stars last night in a patio tree. I know hummingbirds are color blind. But why does every hummingbrid feeder I've ever seen, have yellow flowers where the holes are. I watched my male puff up his eyes really big and turn on the yellow. Just after catching sight of a little hummer. Mmmmmmmm! I wonder if I have a two pounder yet.

"Or to think about a hummingbird's view of the ultraviolet range of flower color to better identify nectar producers."

"In hummingbirds, particular flower types are often recognized by color as well."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

"Hummingbirds, like most other birds do not have a well-developed sense of smell. They have color vision and unlike most vertebrates, are sensitive to ultra-violet light between 325 to 360 nanometers."
