CANNIBAL REPTILE ON THE LOOSE!!!!

So again wouldnt this happen in the wild? Why dont we feed them smaller frogs/lizards? I never have, just wandering...

It probably does happen in the wild. But, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good thing.

So what your saying is it might be their mcdonald's? Lol

Depends which species I think. I don't imagine many full grown parsons are chasing down little flies. Mine has little interest in tiny insects, but a massive appetite. If they're hungry sure, but I bet they're going to go for whatever can fill them up the most with how much growing they do(mine gains about 20 grams a month).

Just a guess

You mean you don’t feed the Cadillac fruit flies and bean beetles?

Lol, even BSF, bottleflies, etc he has little interest in. He sometimes will go for something outside, but he prefers things like stinkbugs and harder bodied insects for whatever reason.

I actually heard this about many of the larger Malagasy species. There’s a particular kind of fruit bottle that they are supposed to love. My male pardalis loves stink bugs and Japanese beetles (I think the latter is supposed to be a no-no, but it’s pretty hard to keep them from eating whatever they heck they want in the summer: 1/2” screen pretty much lets everything in.

Oh that's interesting, about the hard bodied insects you mean? I have a flower beetle colony I've been working on for a year now. He's not interested in the grubs, but haven't tried a beetle yet since my colony started small. Wanted them to reproduce first.

I use the larger screen too, mine eats all sorts of random things. Haven't had any issues so far.

Yes, the hard bodied thing. Probably something about fibre...maybe?
