My babies are as blue as their mother when she came out of the bushes so i dont think its a mineral deficiency but its hard to know what makes what i guess. Dad was booger green though. They both look much greener in person than they do in the pics but definitely bluish still. I heard that tomato worms are a bit fatty and earthworms probably the same. Crickets and superworms are among the best so i personally will stick to them unless my lizards stop eating and get skinny. Let me know what you think of your halides when you get them. oh, and thanks for the compliment!
