Fireside, I would appreciate that you look at what I said about horned lizards and feeding. I specifically said that I am comfortable feeding a prey item of up to 3/8 the size of the head. So if you have a baby or nonate Hl that would mean that a very small cricket such as a pin head. In an adult that would mean that a 1/4 inch and maybe slightly larger would be fine with me. While you state some anticdoal information we all have horned lizards and many years of experience, so quote my correctly if you will,and while you open to your opinion not everyone here is of the same, and I do appreciate your insights, I just don't like to be taken out of context either.



I do agree that large insects are probably left to collards and others, after-all if you've observed horned lizards in the field they are like vaccums and feed on small prey, I have seen them go for grass hoppers but as a general rule they do eat small prey, so I don't think there is anything inconsistant with what I have said that doesn't also match up with my own observations and understanding of HL husbandry.......
