Dragon melon / Kiwano

[BG23]

Hey guys I was wondering if this dragon melon aka kiwano is ok to feed to sliptornavich. Here's a pic and I would remove the seeds I can't find any conformation online so I figured I would ask the best thanks.

I'd be worried about the seeds , if they are hard to digest they could cause impaction.

I know, that's why in my post I mentioned I would remove the seeds first before I feed it to her.

I've never seen that particular fruit here (though I read it's grown here), I can't see any problems if given as a treat and in small amounts (if you are eating one , share some small slices of the flesh with the beardie maybe).

Looks like it has very high P levels and no Ca, so I'd give very sparingly as dietary phosphorus binds dietary calcium. http://www.healthbenefitstimes.com/health-benefits-of-horned-melon/
Much the same reason why I only give small portions of banana as a treat to my ,lizards (even though they all LOVE banana).
