Tank and Turtle have both gained weight! 29g and 11g respectively in less than two months' time. This is a significant amount of weight for both of them - they're both small for their age and haven't gained significant weight since I had them (until now). I know some nematodes are considered OK by some folks, but a heavy load is definitely not in the lizard's best interests, it seems!

Awesome news. What is that green in the picture with the red in it?

If you mean that little bit at the front of the picture, that's actually a piece of red grape. Turtle LOVES grapes!

The red greens I use when I can find them include radicchio, red Russian kale, and Osaka mustard greens. Arthur and Scuttlebutt will pick out anything red first (including lentils), then eat everything else.
