Pretty guy! ;) I'm guessing from the blues it is a male? (Or the lighting? lol) I can't recall correctly but don't the colors make it easier to sex Haitian? I just skimmed over a care sheet and information on them -- I've been crazy busy!

She's been refusing her food, though, and I did read that they pretty much never refuse a meal(?) I don't know why she is refusing. Any suggestions?

Oh, and I can definitely see her crunching that cricket! Can't wait until mine comes out of this molting process and I get to see her go crazy on these crickets I bought her. How often do you feed yours? My local pet shop didn't have the larrrggeee crickets, just smaller to average, so I was thinking maybe 4 at a time when she does start eating again? But I have no idea. Do I just feed until she rejects?

I feed mine approximately once a week or when they get restless and look hungry. I get very large crickets so usually only drop one or two. Occassionally a hornworm to supplement really fattens them up. I am in no rush to get them to full size though so I have heard of full size adults eating up to six crickets are one feeding. If I were using the pet shop "large" crickets, I would probably be at 3-4.
