Lucille

This is a post from Sydney.
This is Lucille eating crickets.  She ate 24 today.  It's fun to watch her chase them around her cage sometimes.   She is really fast. 
We let her eat them on the floor today for this video.   I was afraid the crickets would get away but she got them all.
Sometimes when we feed her these big worms she will bite them in half and she won't get it all in her mouth and the head falls on the sand and it will keep moving around.    It's so gross.
She's about 12 inches long now and should be fully grown.



Lucille smiling for the camera.   Her spikes actually feel  kind of rubbery.

A picture of her Popeye arms.  And a close up of her ear.

edited to add : we still have our roaches colony. Keeping them warm...especially this month isn't helping them breed super well. Plus Lucille is a pig. So we alternate between the crickets and the roaches.
