Walter's coming home soon. I don't like peanut. That G. rosea is all I have left of the 1000's of T's that I had. I miss them but won't get any more.

Welcome back Chris! It's been a while. Don't like Peanut? Everyone like loud, obnoxious, purple monkeys.

Hey all, I haven't been on here much other than reading but I thought I'd post some of these picts. Finally was able to get my camera in working order and they turned out pretty darn well. This is the second G. Rosea I've purchased. The first I've had over a year and a half now and it's only eaten once so I thought a bigger one would be fun.

This sucker will eat like nobody's business!

Before I got out of the hobby I had this girl. She must have been several years old when I got her. I had her 3 years, and she was pretty nice sized... measured diagonally she was about 5"+ inches with a 3" body. She was a great eater and such a grumpy thing... I had to give her away due to some financial issues (I also got out of aquaria then). I wish I would have held onto her.
She hated me. lol

Definately a Rosie there!!!! What I would be inclined to suggest is lose the wood/bark chips you have there on the substrate, it has been known to cause injury, also Rose's don't like wet/too damp substrate so try to keep it as dry as possible or else they'll start to climb the walls of the enclosure and being a terrestrial species, they're not the greatest climbers so could easily fall. Just use a water dish with a few stones in it to stop food items from drowning and when you fill it, overflow it a little into the substrate and that'll be fine for maintaining humidity :)
