Hey guys and gals,
Well Absolem has shocked me this morning...he was wandering round the reptile room with me while I fed all the lizards and I dropped a cockroach but by the time I had put the tub down he had run over to it and eaten it..!! Now I know he is supposed to eat some protein but I really didnt expect him to eat a whole adult cockroach!!
I've never seen him move that fast he obviously really wanted to eat it haha!
I'm hoping it won't hurt him at all, I can't imagine it will but it's not something I have read to give them!

Ewwwwww!! I had the pleasure yesterday of watching my male hermanns eating a slug

He chomped and chewed for about 10 minutes and seemed to enjoy it
