I don't think you need to worry. I remember a number of years back I purchased some WC U. lineatus. One did not look good and the other was so-so. They would not eat crix, drat! I got a hisser and tossed it in. The so-so gal's eyes did a cartoon like popping out thing and she snatched that sucker in a heartbeat! It was at that time I knew she would be ok! She was, and went on to have many babies! :)

So tonight I happened to see a freshly shed Blaberus discoidales in my roach colony. I decided that if my beardy could tackle a couple of these monsters in a sitting, my U. hekeli, Kurt, should get a chance to try one too.I took the succulent white creepy-crawly out and placed it in the cage on the opposite side of the cage from Kurt. He immediately noticed it, and had crept up and pounced on it before I could second guess myself for feeding him a roach a little bigger than his head. He sat with it in his mouth for a good 5 minutes letting it twitch before heaving himself up to a more appropriate chewing perch. He then commenced to chomp it to pieces for about another 2 minutes before getting it all down.Needless to say, he looks very full now. Oh, and the way he chewed that, and the fact that it was a soft white fresh-shed, I sure hope impaction is not a risk - thoughts?Jared"With great power, Comes great responsibility"
