Check out this monster - 8 pounds and 20 inches long

[TheFanatic]

Actually, 8 pounds 4 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long. Born yesterday at 4:50 pm.

His feet are 3.5 inches long and his hands are huge

Baby Fanatic and Momma Fanatic are doing great.

Momma won't let me put a tank in his room, but sooner or later the little fella's gonna catch the fish fever!?!?!

Did you do your research? Those things get huuuge!

Power feed him and see how fast you can grow him out

Did a lot of research. I'm eventually going to need something about 10X10X8 for him. Lots of changes from what I hear too. Evidently it could be multiple times a day and night.

Oh, and he's getting a very special diet right now that only his momma can serve up right.

One day I hope to breed him. I just hope these guys mate for life and only after proper courting rituals including a wedding!!!
