found this fella/lady outside yesterday and brought them in, dubbed "Manny." Manny seemed happy at the top of this agave in the sun. Found a big grasshopper in the vegetable garden and brought them in to meet Manny. Manny seemed to quite enjoy their meeting and turned their lunch date into a dinner date, taking several hours to devour the grasshopper. I'm curious about a couple things: water source, what does Manny need and how to best provide? Next meals: there are a lot of flies in that corner (and on that plant) but I feel like little buddy ate a whole Thanksgiving turkey yesterday and may not really be interested in snack sized bites? Do I need to bring food or will he hunt there on his own?
