wow! I finally got one

gyke Jun 14, 2003 08:30 PM

I have been wanting a collared for so long and today I finally got one. As of today I have never seen one in person but when I went to the petstore to get food for my other lizards I saw two. When I went back later they only had one left and it was the one I wanted. I thinks its a boy. He is almost full grown and has a lot of yellow and when the light hits him a certain way you can see a little green mixed in. From hitting his head against he glass his front lip is turned up and his two front teeth stick out so I named him Buck. Within an hour of bringing him home he already ate. I just have one quaestion, how often and how much should I feed him?

Thats great, you will have fun with your new friend ! As far as eating and how much how often, depending on size, babies and very young eat several times aday, as much as they will eat !
Older collareds, some say every other day 5-6 crickets, mealies or superworms also can be offered, I think to varies, each lizard has its own appetite, Most of my older ones enjoy eating everyday, so I let them, each eats atleast a few crickets daily and I put in a a couple super worms daily also !!Again, welcome, and we want some pics of the new kid on the block LOL Eve
