he truly is a cutie! I hope he continues to eat and thrive for you.

thanks ya'll!!! he eats crickets ok... but its hard for him to catch them... i guess because he can only see out of 1 eye. but the meal worm was just slow enough and he chomped it down and a 2nd one like it was candy

It was a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater... ooopppsss I mean...

Well even if he isnt' a purple people eater he's still pretty darn cool! Congrats on the mealie!

thanks ya'll!!! Drewby and i decided to name him captain (kinda like a 1 eyed pirate) I just can't believe how fast he's growing!! i just feel like laughing at the people who said he wouldnt live and survive with only 1 eye. and he doesnt walk in circles anymore either... i guess he got dizzy or decided walking straight was easier. I'll keep everyone updated as he grows!!!
