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...

you know you want one! ![Good Job](https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/smilies/th_fing02.gif)
Wow..Is that an accepted method of feeding? Are there any downsides?
I want one of everything!

Re: lizard for a kid
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.
