Montresor was named for Edgar Allan Poe, His uncle that he never got to know. He passed earlier this year in May. The name actually came from the human Poe's story "The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado"). I found it fitting since he wasn't blood but still a tie between them, in my mind of course, ha.
Poe, Nov 2013

Once he is all grown up and ready to move into a bigger tank, I am building one out of a very solid built dresser.
Right now its gutted and waiting a friend to help me with the build
So far he has been a little scared of course of his new home, But he has been eating his greens(Collard and Escarole Mixture). And has been kind of eating his crickets, Both chasing them down and being hand fed.
Here he is trying to already escape on day one!
Thanks for reading !
