I've used them from mulberry farms and didn't have any problems....except I had gotten to many and they turned into flies before I could feed them all off lol which ended up being chaotic ...I didn't know how soon they morphed open the container and BAM flies in my face which scared the shit out...
lol the little guy is in pa now ....and theres snow on the ground i dont think he'd do to good ....told my friend how to care for it for the most part until i can completely figure out what the little guy needs to live, other then the basic food, water, temp, enclosure.
yes i just googled the genus and have come up with a couple things it could possibly be...here are the links to what i think it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagebrush_lizard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_fence_lizard
both look really simular to the little guy my friend has, and both...
thank you!! il have to look that up, im not sure what color is on it's belly i will have to find out from my friend, im hopeing that it IS in the genus your talking about so it can be kept (:
this is the only pic i have of it im sorry its not good at all.
but i cant get another, please message me with the info if you have any....i dont have internet so i can only get on about once a day from my phone to check.
can anyone tell me what this is and how it might be cared for?
my friend saved it, it was in shippment of charcoal from mexico....anything at all would be very helpful
iv had mine escape before, is he in the house? outside? if he is in the house could he have gotten outside?
when mine got out i could always find her on tops of windows hiding in the tops of curtains...anything he can climb pretty much.
i do both :)
more often then not i cup feed but once a week or so id let feeders free range but keep an eye out for ones that dont get eaten, id take them back out so they dont drown during watering.
my chams generally go to the bathroom in the same spot when they go, try moving your cup. :)
or keep the cup there so the rest of the cage isnt bad just make sure you THOROUGHLY wash the cup before using it again :)
