this is a day by day diary of the prey intake for each of my adult male panther and veiled chameleons. Panthers and veilds got the same meals, except where otherwise noted.
All prey was gutloaded except the hornworms (which were fed off immediately after purchase). Butterworms were gutloaded with carrot, apple and squash. Crickets and roaches gutloaded with primarily dandelion, carrot, apple and some dry blend (alfalfa, nuts, spirulina, etc). supers and meals are in a substrate mix like this. isopods eat wood, leaf litter, fruit and veg. Silkworms got chow and a little dandelion. snails get mostly veggies like squash and cucumber, plus a little fruit like apple.
Supplements are noted if /when used: 50-50 is a mix of roughly equal portions Mineral-O (the vitamin free calcium and mineral powder made by Sticky Tongue Farms) and Calcium Plus (made by Repashy - original strength).
