That is all german to me lol. I have heard of Malau, but can't differentiate the difference yet.. Regardless, thanks for the kind comment.

Yes heat is at 84 right now.. Just trying to get him to eat well and stay active. Seems to be going good so far.

Ive never used it before, heard it is a good food. I use Grand sumo red as well as bw, and frozen shrimp on occasion. I also feed 2-3 crickets a week, as well as occasional freeze dried krill
