as germ said, they are very tough buggers, im glad for that. he just started a shed too, growing like a monster! i got him march 11th and its may 1st, he was around 4 and a half inches when i got him and now his seven and 1/4 inches. will prolly be 7 and 1/2 by may 11th so hes grown like 3 inches in two months.
