Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello forum members. I have a few questions I was hoping someone could answer for me. I recently purchased 2 sulcatta hatchlings , and 2 lepard hatchlings. I have a great set up, heat, light, water etc. , but am a little confused as to food discriptions... does greens refer to both fresh and dried, or does greens refer to fresh picked, and not dried grasses? I have some good tortise mix dried greens from carolina pet supply,(" Hay salad style mix" along with some mixed and powdered sprinkle on top once or twice a week (hibiscus flowers and other things). Its called T-N-T.. I know I shouldn't give them any fruit, but this seems a bit bland. Is this an ok diet? I fresh pick clover leaves, plantain, dandilions a few times a week, and they love it. My question is, what should the percentage of wet greens vs. dried greens be? Thanks, JIm

I would say that during spring and summer you can feed as much of the fresh picked weeds as you want (make sure they are safe, no pesticides). In fall and winter they won't be available, so offer more of the dried stuff. That would go along with what they naturally have available to them during certain seasons. I don't think there is any prefect formula for a proportion between them.
