[Indirectcell]

@jw2327 hmm, well like i said, it still looks like alot of work, but if you find a video of sombody haveing one, it would still be interesting to see if it's possible.

@Intelligenttrees yup, reminds me of cobras

[Intelligenttrees]

I found one in the wild once, they're really cool. Is it true that they can shoot blood from their eyes?

[jw2327]

@Indirectcell I've since heard that the american equivalents can be fed crickets.

@jw2327 can imagine they get what they need from ants, probebly not much, so if one were to switch it out for some other insect they probebly would get fat or something.

and id guess you need some more advanced watery system, seeing they absourb the water trough the skin pushing it to the mouth, so some sort of extra fine spray onec in the morning.. then theres the temprature.

It is possible, but it seems like alot of work, and if one has to supply it whit the ants, well.. yea+food for ants

@JoshLuke864 whoa - ants are your least favourite insect?! You dislike them MORE than all the mosquito's, ticks, fleas, bed-bugs, all the biting, blood sucking, parasitic (thanks god) ones? BOT FLIES! WTH!

I'm not sure you can buy these as pets just because of the pretty strict ant-diet. I think it's hard to give them the volume of ants they need. Though I'm no expert - must they eat ants? I only watched two other vids apart from this one :P

Aww, I used to have one, but then he got eaten by the very ants that he was supposed to eat!
