Hi Jobi,

first, on these pics that animal in fact looks good!!
I really do not want to be rude, but I obviously have a completely different few on herping than you have. My philosophy on this was formed by long standing herpetocultural experience in Europe (which provides a quite different herpetocultural environment than northern America) and a biologists view on herpetoculture.
From personal experience, I have learned that we two do not get along well in such discussions and that I have no chance to convince you of anything I consider important.
So why keep on talking?
Anyhow, since I started, at least one minor point:
With respect to acceptance of vegetarian matter, to my experience neither Gonos nor Acanthosaura do eat significant amounts -if at all- fruits or veggies voluntarily.
But of course they snap everthing you offer if you hold them in your hands...
Also dehydrated animals may quite readily eat such food as is well known for quite a number of principally non herbivorous species.

I love herpetoculture and I try to offer my herps the best conditions possible. My view on these does differ significantly from yours and again, we quite obviously do not come together at all.
So after some annoying -at least for me- experiences, I decided not to continue discussing herpetocultural aspects with you.
After all, I do not want to be rude but I also do not want waste my time talking stuff, the adressed person does nothing but ignore or call irrelevant.
So please accept my decision which makes it easier to me to enjoy my way of herping.
This statement does not exclude that I may say a few lines if I think that a quotation given here may be potentially detrimental if a newbie reads it and too eagerly follows the statements given there.

best regards

Ingo
