36M calorie? Or 36K Calorie?
Also, ick.
Keep it in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, like a herpetarium 
, and put it on display in the front room!
Do you have to feed it these?

His good lady wife was not impressed with him.
Now let me think… Who do I hate, who has kids that I could send this to?
What would Wilford Brimley say?

Good question. Because we’ve got not way to tell if they mean /actual/ calories or are mislabeling kilocalories as most companies seem to.
If it’s 60% water:

Enjoy!

Pork gelatin.
From the website:
Question: Is it kosher, halal, or vegetarian? Answer: No. The gelatin is from a pork source.
26 pounds of spackle.
eew. And double eew. (this being said as a “reptile guy” and as a veterinarian…)
Methinks it wouldn’t be a bad idea for your friend to submit some feces to his favorite doctor to check for assorted parasitic protozoa and helminths (many of which can survive the freezing/thawing sequence and survive [if only in egg form] in a dead animal’s GI tract.).
