Nom Nom Nom

My male Timor Monitor just loves when late summer and fall come around, I catch Katydids that seem to congregate around my workplace and bring them home, and he makes short work of them.
He's getting on in years. I got him as a young adult back in 2001, so he's got to be at least 11 years old. Definitely showing his age, but he still huffs and puffs whenever I get too close for his liking.

Thanks Donna! I just wish I still had his mate, she passed away three years ago. She was a real looker, and not quite as 'hissy' as Stripe is.

Naw.....It's been a great experience having and breeding them, but lizards typically take more time and effort to take care of, and free time for me is at a premium.

Did you guys have the 13-yr cicadas this summer? You could literally pick up 100 of them no matter where you were standing, for like 3 months. Unfortunately, I have nothing large enough to eat them. It felt like such a waste of free feeders!! I have to admit I took great joy in watching bug-haters running around, tearing at their hair.

Oh yeah, we had them (though not in those kind of numbers lol). I used to catch them and feed them to my Savannah monitor Lucky (RIP). Sounded like he was eating popcorn

I moved to MD and for the FIRST time (some time ago) saw some big bugs in the MILLIONS with beady red eyes! They were EVERYWHERE!! Trees were COVERED with them! Are those what you are talking about?

I was covered from head to toe when I stepped out the door. Light-weight HOODED jacket, and jogging pants...lol They were scary!

I'm trying to get out of MD before they come back.

Dragon, I can let you know when they return and you can come scoop them up (if I haven't made my escape by then).
