How is your lizard?Mine are doing well. I sold one, so I'm down to three. I like it better that way. Mine had a dry start on sand, but the moderate humidity and damp substrate is suiting them well. I was feeding them 100% insects. Gut loaded all the time and calcium dusted about half the time. Growth was minimal. I decided to start adding some "meat" to their diet once or twice a week, and man, what a difference! I'm giving them a little finely chopped quail, English house sparrow, and mouse. I just take a little of my hawk's food and cut it up super fine for them. They eat it right out of a bowl. I started this about a month ago, and they've grown more in that month than they have since I got them. I haven't taken any pics lately, but I'll get some tomorrow.</blockquote>
