O.K. thank you for you feedback! I will try and load a pic.

Just an F.Y.I., the dog/cat food I was using was either organic or not filled with filler and all natural. However, since posting this thread I went to the pet store and Merrick has a new line of dog food which is 100% pure meat: Turkey, Buffalo, Salmon and Beef.

Holy mother did my lizards go to town!!! Not only has my tegu ate this food 2 days in a row (instead of picking here and there and not finishing his entire plate), but, my emerald tree monitor that is picky beyond all belief and my blue-tongue scarfed the food down in minutes!

Additionally, I noticed that my tegu ate more veggies and fruit on his plate with this new food type. I will add more rats to his diet to beef him up... but, his body form is more like: not fat, but his belly spreads out when he basks and when he lifts his body up to walk... it streamlines to form a nice cylindrical shape. I will take a pic tomorrow and upload it to this thread so everyone may see his shape. Thank you again!

- Justin
