Other sources of food

What are other sources of food i could be feeding my collard, or mixing in with its diet? So far i've only fed crickets, and its a juvenile.

I have been feeding my new juvi collared live crickets, mealworms, and canned grasshoppers. The Grasshoppers come in a little can... they are cooked in the can... The same maker also has caterpillars, snails, and crickets in the can. The grasshoppers are large, but I cut it into little pieces and hand feed Xander. He loves the grasshoppers and mealworms. I am also going to try feeding him waxworms and some greens sometime soon. He even likes the grasshoppers cold out of the refrigerator!!! Maybe I have a very unpicky collared or they just like about anything... I dunno... but it has been fun. I always feed him the mealworms out of my hand as well... I am classically conditioning him to associate good things with being held...

grasshoppers, spiders, IMPORTANT *** remember that if you catch any of these, no pesticides were used on or in the area. The superworms, wax worms, can be purchased, online. Just a few things, others will probably have more of a list. Eve
