id keep a pair in a 3ft..
bigger locus, and mario worms are nice if gut loaded well..

as for how the are, great fun, slower, and more easier to keep than smaller ones..

nice looking, and a nice handable size..
what are the ones in your reptile shop like?.. price?

Thank you all for your kind comments about our babies
we do not have any giants available at the moment
but we do have super giant babies that we bred last year growing on at the moment

as for feeding giants
we feed all our geckos including the giants and super giants on mealworms

yeah i would have thought the diet would be the same, tbh, though they would prob need a bit more. I've love a super giant one day my self. i'm not sure on the housing, but i would think that a pair of supers you wuld need a 3ft viv, but a pair of giants, you could poss get away with the standard 2ft, becuse from what i understand, giants arnt majorly bigger, but supers are.
