I was just bringing out the point that Ihave observed this in my own animals over the years, actually the paratisized fringees according to the vet aslo may have had some other viral type influence in the demise, again for all to be affected, there was a communicable situation that caused this. Actually part of my suspicion now is that mixing wild caught groups for other locations is unadviseable I think that this was abig learnign expereince, I have a few others that are doing well and hibernating for the mont which I will bring up in March for breeding. I have been working hard on captive husbandry for these, like horned lizards small prey items are necessary, so in this case I was feeding these guys small wax wormsl, crickets, and bird seed, and trying greens as well, along with other insects and they seem to do well, and as Lester and I have both observed years ago that crickets can be contaminated and possible spread disease to our animals, I believe that prey size in this case did not sontribute to their demise.
