Contrary to popular belief feeding wild lizards to snakes is NOT harmfull. I've done it for over 30 years with difficult species like Epicrates gracilis, neonate Epicrates of other species, Tropidophis, etc. Some of these I bred to f-3 generations eating NOTHING but wc Anoles. The ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY THREAT would be if the lizards were sprayed with insecticide just prior to feeding. In nature all species for millions of years have eaten nothing but wild prey and their doing just fine. This fallacy has been told over and over again until many people believe it. If you just stop and think about it it is illogical to believe wc prey will kill herps as that is ALL wc herps have available to them.....TC
