He's gorgeous! Here's a link to some good food items http://greathousefarm.com/Greathouse-Reptile-Nutrition-List.pdf

I tend to stick to the same three of 4 or 5 greens and then add a little something else. Dandelion, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens and endive. Mine LOVE blueberries, I give them once or 2x a week if they are being stubborn and not wanting to eat anything.

Thank you for replying to me I have tried blueberrys strawberrys lol he just puts his nose in the air I put fresh mixed leaves down every day for him but I never see him eating much if anything. I'll try some of what your mentioned tho. He loves cockroachs mind you he can't seem to get enough of them.

He looks so calm and happy I just can't get over how cute he looks hanging out in the tree!
We aren't sure how old Toothless is, the pet store had no idea but he's definitely a baby, when we got him back in March his body was the length of my thumb and now he's almost longer than my whole hand. I just saw a link to help determine age so when my husband gets home we are going to measure him

Thank you all for they lovely comments about him, when I saw him up for rehome I could not resist he just stood out to me. I have to admit I'm petrified of the locus but I manage to give them to him lol (it's the ) on them, I did a lot of research but there are sooooo many different things on what to do and what not to do. He is a big lad and when I went to see him the girl had him in a small vivarium with sand, one plant and one bit of tree. He had nothing to hide, climb or play on. His heated spot was only raising to 80f and his claws were very long. I had traveled 2 hours for him, I put him and his Vivarium in the car got home and set him up. That same day I went out and spent over £250 on a whole new set up for him as i was unsettled as to what he was living like. My friend works at pets at home and helped me with it all. This is now his set up, I still have lots more to do but he seems to like it as he does a lot of climbing and so on. Does anyone have suggestions as to what would be good for him? I'm loving all of this as I don't really have anyone to talk to lol x

Wow that is proper small, bless I would have loved to have had budley at that age. You boy looks lovely me he will grow to be a stunning lad, you must keep me informed with your vivarium that you are doing as I'm still learning with mine and would love some more ideas Budley is probably the length of me whole arm and hand lol he is shedding at the moment so that's his first one with me.

Wow that looks fantastic!!! I bet he is a very happy boy now with all that room to run around!! The only thing I would say would be maybe a long thick branch or wood plank type thing for him to climb on..
