P.sicula eating babies

JohnStyner May 02, 2008 01:16 PM

Hello,
I plan on having my 1.2 Podarcis sicula laying eggs in my 6 ft vivarium and hatching.
I know this may be a stupid question but is there any chance of the hatchlings surviving with the adults?

John, these lizards are mini-Jurassic Park denizens. I wouldn't leave any hatchlings in with adults, they'd be gobbled up in a hot second.

And you may have noticed how the adults squabble with one another as well. It's a good thing they're small is all I can say! If they were of any size, they'd be dangerous.

Do you want the hatchlings to survive? lol
I just hatched out some podarcis sicula and at about 2" they would be an easy meal for the adults.
