Greetings All!
I have a CB sikorae, and I think I have had him for approximately 5 months. I have
been feeding him Asian Roaches and crickets, and he seems to be growing quite rapidly.
How large do these guys get? He is very enjoyable, however he puffs up and opens his
mouth very wide when I have to do anything in his cage. He has not actually bitten
me, but I am curious if he does, would it hurt badly?
