Yes i know he/ she is huge! i dont plan to feed it for several days...he looks really full...

we also got some of these to feed the blondi madagascan hissing cockroaches...prolly safer than Mice. 3 of them for $5.39 good or bad price?

Yeah that B smithi is fat as mud alright. It looks good. You done good on that deal. I have heard that the hissing cock roaches reproduce quickly so that may be a good source of food. Good luck with your smithi

Yeah roaches seem to be expensive wtf is that? and mice are a but too dangerous for the T. I was thinking about anoles, they arnt expensive and I doubt if they could damage the T.

Btw that is one fat ass spider lol.

i asked the pet store guy about anoles. He said " Anoles are some mean little F****ers if the T did not eat it right away it could hurt the T. " i personally have no idea on anoles, thats just what he said to me today.
-B4 anyone asks, no the roaches are not for this B. smithi, they're for my
T. blondi...

Hmm always thought anoles were weak little suckers, they dont even have teeth I dont think. We used to have em when we were kids, they have to be weaker then a mouse.

The hissers are pretty easy to sex when they're at the juvenile stage or larger. Males develop horn-like projections near their head. I have a fairly large colony but it took a while to reach that stage; other roaches will reproduce faster. However, if you have a very large T that requires large prey, an adult hisser is a good choice.
