Ha....so the reptiles in your house either eat rodents or they are vegetarians....LOL

LMAO....when I first got my beardies, it was a big shock from keeping snakes. Lizards in general are high maintenance when compared to snakes. Don't you wish you only needed to feed them all once a week?

Thats how I roll...The Uro would eat bugs every day if I let him. They are just not a food item that should be offered more frequently than a couple times a week at most.

The Uro is a bit high maintenance. Some days he won't even wake up the whole day and grace us with his prescence.

I had a bad experience with Geckos so I am not sure I would take that plunge anytime soon. That and I the whole insect thing...

jamie, you just need to get a crested gecko. :P you don't even have to feed them insects. :D

Really!? They are so cute! Dont tempt me...What do you feed them?

crested gecko diet (it does come in a smaller bottle than the huge tub on that page). it is a powder that you mix with water (i also add a little plain, fat free yogurt for a nice consistency) and put it in a dish for them to lap up. you can feed that alone or supplement with insects if you want, but it's not necessary.

you know you want one! :D :gj:

Wow..Is that an accepted method of feeding? Are there any downsides?

I want one of everything!

yup, the cgd is a total meal replacement. i still feed crickets once or sometimes twice a week because they do love them. for hatchlings i feed pinhead crickets a little more often because it helps them to grow faster but it isn't a requirement.

what other lizards dont eat insects?
