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
