lizard for a kid

[daniel1983]

Good info Daniel! I like them all but no more insect eaters for me. They are a pain to find around here. Of course I am used to feeding my Uro greens every day so for me, not a big deal.

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. you don't even have to feed them insects.

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

[mlededee]

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!

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?
