She's just under a year. We got her at a reptile show sometime between March of last year when she was a hatchling. (No receipt from breeder, I keep them all and put their names on them so I have their purchase dates)

This was her not long after we brought her home. That's the cap off of a milk jug for a size comparison. She was pretty tiny. Now she's I guess full grown. lol. I don't expect she'll get much bigger since she's just about caught up to my other female, Calypso.

Such a funny pic! She looks like she's saying, "What are YOU doing here?" to her reflection.

lol. She was watching the tarantula in the cage next to her I think. Probably drooling a bit in the process.

It's actually working out really well for us. Only one does not like it. Jabba was full grown when we got him in Nov. All of the others were switch over when they were juvies and they took to it fairly quick. The CGD just lasts so much longer. I had seen it on the youtube video that I think someone on here had posted. I just keep refilling, and checking to make sure it doesn't get solid from misting. So much quick and you don't need to soak the dishes when the mix dries. And they don't seem to mind it at all (except the picky brat. Oh, wait, I think he's staring at me. hehe)

u can feed dry cgd?

I've been doing it for almost a year now after seeing it on a youtube video a breeder made. Go figure now I can't find the video. I googled it and another forum had the link posted and looks like the owner took the video down. I haven't seen any problems with them. They still eat it, plus I feed crickets about once a week. They still poop normally and such. No issues thus far. While trying to find the video I did come acorss other forums where people asked the same thing and others responded with dry and having done it for several years with no issues.

Some geckos are picky, other aren't.

I just find the cgd lasts longer this way.

This "dry" diet intrigues me. I will have to try it out with my rhacs to see if it takes.
