roaches crickets and worms oh my!

[Bella12898]

I heard that feeding your lizard mealworms can kill it if given too many. I posted a topic on it and someone said it was true. We feed Pablo worms every so often... so hes fine. Roaches??? Where do you get them? How big? Can they be a main diet or just a treat? Can over feeding kill? Pablo eats a steady dies of crickets and lettuce. Not iceberg.... he likes romaine. He dosent care for anything curly like kale or mustard greens..

Mealworms can impact a breadie because they have a hard outer shell. Every once in a while is ok but just make sure your pooper is pooping them out. If he is over 15 inches you can feed supers. There are many more feeders out there. The roaches can be bought from [ Invalid URL Removed / p= t=109757 f=2 ] . Hope this helps any more questions just ask.

Ya i heard that nothing bigger between the space between his eyes. You seem to know a lot about beardies. How long have you had them?

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Over 20 years.

 

[Bella12898]

wow thats long.. how may do u think u have hadfor that time? how many do u have now?

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Now I only have 5. I am also a breeder and have had 200+ in the past.

 

[Bella12898]

holy lord. thats a ton. More than 200?????????!!!!!!! We were gonna get a gecko but the guy with the monster beardie at country max said geckos bite and are not all that friendly. So we ended up getting a lil beastie. Our first one died. The guy at petsmart said its illegal to sell beardies under 4 months. Do you know anything about that?

 

[Twobeardieguy]

There is no law for selling beardies at any age but should be! We don't sell babies under 6 weeks old.

ok ours died cuz there was a cricket in his water dish. (we used a cool whip top now we use a pringles lid) It dove for it and got water up its nose. You know those little blackish brownish indents by the head? there was all orangie goo in one of the indents. I think it was the guy at petsmart who said they were glands im not not sure.
