Actually I do put Reptical not reptivite as I remembered the name wrong. The primate chow is only used with a handfull per 5 gallon bucket and I doubt it matters one way or the other on that [it just smells good]. It's too high in protein to give in any quantity. ZooMed is used sometimes as a substitute for Reptical. I don't and doubt anyone has EXACTLY the same food or the same quantity ever feeding. Essentially I think you shouldn't say I'm only going to feed this exact diet all the time and I'm not sure that Reptical is better than ZooMed or vice versa. If you have specific questions call me at 239-645-9661 as I'm rarely on the forums as this time of year is critical for a lot of projects including albino Iguanas so I only check these about once a week or so. It's also not clear why you think the brands are so important as all are reasonbly good. Iguanas as individuals sometimes like to eat one brand over another but most commercial diets are adequate. The Mazuri Tortoise Chow never changes and likely just that would work without the other stuff. I used to keep dry pellets of Mazuri in the cages in addition to the wet feedings but I stopped doing it about 3 years ago. Again I don't think it matters. I'm sure others don't feed exactly like I do and also are successful.
