xerxes  
Sorry for lack of information in my last question, but xerxes I believe to be about 3 years old I'm not sure. He was a rescue case really, I bought him off of an acquaintance and he was very brown when I got him approximately 6 months ago. He eats about 10 superworms every 2 days but lately only been eating about twice a week. I'm not sure how much weight gain there has been due to not having a scale.

Answer
Hello Mike,

Xerxes appears to be male.  His crest is much larger than the one that was on our female
before.  Below is a link to a picture that has a male & female pictured together.  It
should help show the differences.
I think he looks great though, his tail base is nice & thick as well as his muscle tone, also.  
He doesn't look overweight to me however.  He eats a pretty good amount, for an adult then.  He can have up to 30-40 or so feeders weekly.
Let me know what you think of the pictures.  His pictures look great!
