This is my little guy Yoshi :)

Ive had him about 3 months now which would make him about 11 months old.

Im just wondering if he is too fat. I dont have scales atm to weigh him but his tail seems really fat.

I feed him mainly on mealworms as he didnt seem interested in crickets but for the last few weeks he has been having a few locusts every meal time.

He used to have 6-8 worms every day but now he only seems to want to eat every 2-3 days. Hes eaten up to 16 worms in one sitting or 2-3 locusts and about 10 worms. I always know when hes had enough cos he will just walk off and go hide under his log.

He has also become more skittish during the last few weeks. He still comes to the front cos he wants to come out but when i pick him up he just seems cranky. He isnt scared of me and has never tried to bite me he just seems to have a bit of an attitude atm. He hasnt had any frights recently so im not sure if its just his age. At what age are they considered adults?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Well... that means that he is eating so it is a good sign. And I think that it looks healthy. Good job!
