This one is one a student of mine brought to school and gave me.
I do have a pair of adults that have produced in the past. They had 5 eggs one year and 6 the next year. I usually save one or two because they are very time consuming.I find ground skinks are the best to get them started. Some will take small anoles.
This fellow tried to eat a small pinkie but it was to large. I'll have to get him a little larger on anoles first. He also eats mouse tails. I usually put the eggs in vermiculite and place them in a closet in my classroom. temps.in closet 80-83.
