Lacerta Dial-up Death & Lizard Qs

[MedusasOwl]

Meet Dana, our newest addition. Also, our very first lizard!! She's very alert, active, adorable and tame. We are totally in love with this girl. She's 3 years old, retired breeder female Jeweled Lacerta.

































She's so adorable. And we have her husbandry down - temps, humidity, etc. All except the food. Lizards do eat once a day, right? Because she snubbed the dusted crickets (noisy little things) we offered this morning then we had to pick them out to make sure they didn't nibble her toes. She'd eaten before we brought her home Sat and typically wolfs down 12 large crickets in a sitting.

We may switch over to lobster roaches or something, or at least look for wingless crickets. We are not amused by the chirping. We enjoy the peace and quiet of keeping herps and rabbits, crickets are not condusive to this. But man, she is so worth it. What an absolute sweetheart.

This caresheet says the same as the info her previous owner gave us, but I'm confused about frequency or why she didn't want these crickets. Maybe I over dusted them? I did write her previous owner but I know she's busy on Sundays and am eager to get our beautiful Dana off to a good start in her new home!
