You may be right Nino. At least about the care/diet.

When I first got this subadult male close to 2 years ago he

was considerably smaller in size/length and not as bulky. He

also had a hard time with shedding and was extremely flighty

(scared). His jowls were not as full as they have become while

in my care. He has not doubled his size in this time but close

to it. I still believe he is a young adult of not over 5 years

at this time.



I feed all the gallotia my turkey salad mix on a daily basis.

It includes ground turkey, boiled egg, tofu, yel squash,

greens and veggies, flowers and a sprinkle of calcium/vit

mixed in daily. I top it with some of their favorite fruit like

strawberry or banana slices. Maybe once or twice a week

I offer some ground chicken dog food. As an added treat

they get a few superworms or crickets maybe once a week.

They expecially get some exercise while chasing down the

faster crickets.



John
