I think you both hit all the same thinking and questions I had about Hl's and their food protocols. I appreciate the discussion, I hope my thinking on this wasn't percieved as bashing anyone.... I certianly appreciate the exchange, amd per my previous post about different groups for different insects and a control group, I believe you need to also seriously consider having one or more horned lizards medically examined or if they should die 2 or three years down the road have a casual exam to find out not just what they died from but also to examine their kidneys and other organs compare to a healthy HL. You all hit the same areas that I did with my mind, including scat, formic acid, small mouth for small insects, teeth made for ants: but I am still not dogmatic in feeding occasional other insects as well.... Cheers all!! Very good posts no matter what side of the line your on.................
