Diet?
i know they get big, but do they eat pellets? how easy is it to train to pellets?

black worms.... i have heard some have converted to the micro pellets...

blood worms

I've seen some around 15-17 inches and the Frankfurt zoo. I would not buy one if you are unable to feed it frozen or live food it's entire life. Very rarely will any individuals convert to pellets. Most starve first.

i had 3. tried it for ages but the best I got was to get them on freezed dried blackworms.
they did try colour/tetrabits, they split it out straight away (thought from reports this is one of the food others have accepted).

I got mine on pellets, but it still had a hard time with them. It much preferred frozen blood worms.
