I have not tried chopping up larger worms... and I often give him food that's larger than I think he'll eat. Most of the time, he doesn't eat it - but once in a while, he does surprise me with eating something I thought was too big. I've got a slug in there now, that I think is probably just wishful thinking and am about to dispose of.

I've tried chopping the slugs - he wasn't really happy with that and they seemed to really ooze and deflate - so I don't think that's a very good route to go - probably works better with the worms. ^_^

And yeah - I think he's gorgeous too. I've always enjoyed just looking at him and loved how curious he is and that he comes over and looks back.
