Merry Halloween, now an update on Chico.

Yeah! He's eating! He has an appetite and everything! He's like a real Collared Lizard! (Voratiousness is the key) It could have been a number of factors: 1. I finished the parazap treatment of two weeks, 2. I left the lights off for two days, 3. I moved his buddy Anna in with him, (Lizard needed a friend theory.) 4. I have fed him smaller crickets since I am running out of big ones, 5. Any combination of the above.

Really cool: After chasing a grasshopper around a bit, he stopped just short of it and wagged his tail as he slowly crawled towards it.

He's been eating a bunch of little crickets and crasshoppers today. Hoping he'll gain some weight soon. I have captured over seventy field crickets that I plan on breeding this winter as variety food.

He's been eating crickets fairly well, and he has been basking more, running around more and everything. Thanks for the support guys.

NICE, glad to hear it Scott. I figured he would come around sooner or later.

Hes a Beauty, with some good meals in him, he should bulk up and become a SUPER STUD in no time!

Good news!
