@thrones-of-buer submitted: Salak (Dehanni) chillin. They enjoyed a dubia and rat leg.

Apricot (Alterans Florida) is getting bigger, they're the size of my pinky now. Apricot seems to be a dubia fiend, they don't really like meats or mealworms.

Glad they're doing well and enjoying their snacks :)

What a fashionable fella! It's a banded alder borer, which is a type of longhorn beetle :)
