99% of my reptiles eat spring mix. does anyone know where i can get large amounts of it for a better price. best i can find is 3.50 a bag which only lasts me 1 day.

try www.reptigreens.com - they sell in bulk quantities - don't know if it's what you're looking for, but it's worth a look

Spring Mix is not really the best choice for greens anyway. The web site below has a list of the best greens for BD's.

If you are talking about paying $3.50 for a 5 oz. bag of Dole or similar spring mix that equates to $11.20/lb. I get mustard, turnip, or collard greens for .99/lb. Dandelion for 1.49/lb. I can't remember the other prices off the top of my head but all are way cheaper than buying greens in a bag. Yes it takes a little longer to wash and prepare my greens, but it is cheaper and more nutritious for my 18 dragons that each get a salad daily.

well they only seem to want the spring mix. they wont eat anything else. any tricks i can use?

Mix the spring mix and some of the others together. Every dragon ever here has always like mustard greens and dandelion so those might be good to start with. They really just eat what their used to. I buy 2 lbs. of spring mix every week and use it when I have to leave for work early and don't have time to make 14 salads from scratch. They don't seem as enthused with it but will eat it when hungry. I guess mine are just spoiled from the other greens and veggies I offer.
