Big chubby boy! He literally became THREE times the size he was when I got him. Since the molt, he started growing out a little bit, and got slightly more chunky.
Slightly more chunky bug!
But the last few days, he seems to have .... elongated. Somehow.
I feel like he's still the same width.
However, someone on r/entomology has brought up that judging by the ventral plate (not to mention lack of the horns that male hissers get)....Sully might be a Silvia. So for now, as I was quite fond of the name Sully, and I'm not too sold on Silvia just yet, I'll be sticking to the gender neutral "Cilantro".
Aside from getting longer and wider, Cilantro has gotten some spunk. I read that the warmer their environment, the more active (and sexually active) hissers get. And Cilantro has been running around like crazy the last few days. Usually, he's easy to handle, and kind of chills on the back of my hand while I type, but the last few days I can barely hold him without him running all about. Teenagers....jeez...
