I never wormed them. I have just been feeding them a varied healthy salad, no bugs, lots of flowers of course, and of course they are under the Megaray and have plenty of leg room. They are very playful, curious little creatures, and I love them to death!

I wish I could capture how they look in the heat of the day. All my other lizards go into their hides and some days I have to turn off the MVBs because it just gets too hot, but these babies stay out all day, mostly under the megaray, and they look irridescent white! I will try to get a pic when that happens again. We have been getting afternoon rains for the past several days, so the temps never rise like they had been.

I don't know if this has anything to do with their weight gain and general shine, but I throw small bird pellets on their salad a few times a week, and they clean it up. Doug Dix recommends that for uros, so I figured it wouldn't hurt these. I use Pretty Bird Small hookbill pellets.
