Exactly my thoughts the one that molted is so much bigger after last molt and the other looks to have a molt coming soon, once it molts out I will move them up into something nicer!Nice, congrats!They may need an enclosure upgrade soon lol!

Congrats, these things are awesome and grow very fast at that stage. Even though it'll slow down over the next few years, by this time next year they'll still be humongous if you keep them going. Also, the BEST oak leaf food for them is the type that is very decayed (dry, crispy, breaks apart in your hand). I would avoid the leathery, freshly fallen fall oak leaves. If you come across soft, spongy rotten wood they love that too - and of course dog food kibble. I love watching them grab food and drag it around before eating it. Reminds me of a dog trying to find a spot to nibble on a treat.

Notes taken, I have some softer crumbly oaks and maples and soft wood I've been rotting for beetle larvae. The live oak litter was made available for now as my hissers, glowspots and even hermit crabs eat the stuff at an alarming rate but I will offer some softer stuff for sure!
I second this !!! My colony going on four years now, are on just plain ole coconut fiber and buncha leaves. Nothing fancyIndeed, they should do just fine on plain old coconut fiber.Hope they do well for you, keep us updated!
I could fill a 32oz full of crushed oak for $10 shippedI need a trash bag full , hehehehehe ...... how much for shipping
