No, you can't just leave them . . . darnit! That's precisely why I ended up with so many collareds when I used to keep them years ago. The stupid pet shop (which regularly caused the demise of probably dozens of reptiles a month) kept ordering them. I couldn't just leave them there to wither away, ya know?! You do know, don't you.

Phew--okay, I'm finished.

I'm glad you got these two. The rescue of so many sick lizards is how I learned so much about keeping the mortally ill ones alive. I guess that is a bright side. Yours don't look bad, though. I'm glad for that.

The wild-caught trade would dry up! Or so it would seem to reason. But I am not one to talk as I purchased 2 wc at an expo this summer. But just some food for thought (or at least said a little less sanctimoniously than could have been spewed by another).

Yeah, I hear ya, and I struggle with that issue to be sure. That said however, I usually try to purchase only healthy CB animals. On the rare occasions that I do pay for a wild caught lizard, it is only after the pet store (or dealer, etc.) has agreed to GIVE me the sick animals if I buy the healthy(ier) ones. They don't make a profit on me, so I can live with that.

Best wishes with the new lizard lovers

If she ate at the pet store like she eats here, it's a wonder any of the other lizards in her cage would have gotten a chance to eat anything, I'm not sure if she is a stress eater or what but I don't think she missed out on any meals, I think she would eat as many crickets as I was willing to give her, tonight I dropped in 10 medium crickets, they were gone it about 30 sec. I added 3 more about 5 min. later and she ate them, added a few super worms and she left them alone so maybe the male will get a chance to eat something, I know it's only been a few days but I'm not sure he is taking to the captive life very well
