Default Hand feeding one of the Sulcatas.

This is the smaller of our two, still a monster. Gotta watch those fingers.
Enjoy

Yeah you can't take your eyes off them when hand feeding or you'd be minus a digit in no time.

Ah that was just a taster for video purposes. That wouldn't even be a starter. They eat a phenomenal amount of food. We keep their staple diet to be 70% rough grasses, 30% dandos and then any vegtables skins or left over veg is gorged upon. Never mind them constantly picking at the grass in the garden or lack of grass now a days. I've even seen them picking at their own dried poop which we use as manure. Savages.

That one is about 18kgs but we have a bigger one that's about 22kgs. Just solid monsters. We got them when they were only a few weeks old and tiny.
