Description: need some help


Vip - April 16, 2006 12:25 AM (GMT)
Found this little guy clinging onto life at work, it didnt even try to run when I went upto him he was really ou of energy. When I got home I put him in a box and put a downlight on him as its cold here now and alos chucked in a grape and some water in a old jar lid. After about 30 mins or so he got stuck into the grape and water ( it can get enough of grapes) So he is doing really well now but I want to know is how can I care for it abit more and what does it eat??

From what I saw by just scanning these pages you need to find out what kind it is, some are carnivores others are omnivores, some give live birth others are egg layers.
He is cute though!
Happy reading! :laugh:

Looks like you need another tank :laugh:

It's actually illegal to take them from the 'wild'. :whistle:
But I won't tell anyone. ;)

His doing better then ever! We bought him live insects and his in heaven. Chasing them around etc. I know its not a good thing taking him out the wild, but the poor little thing is that tiny it has a high chance of not surviving to long.
