Hi!
I caught a baby skink today in the driveway. I need to know what to feed him, the space between his eyes are 3mm, ya that small. He ate a cricket it was 1/8 of an inch. there is a picture of him in my gallery... you wont have trouble finding it because it is the only one. Well if you can sugest things for him to eat please do. I caught him outside in the gravel pavement and it was 87 degrees in south georgia... so i thought he was a basking lizard... well anyway i hope that info helped!

Lol thanks!

 ok i'll post a new one.... thanks for the tip!!! btw your friend sounds like a hoot!!! 

Well I cant deny some of these inqueries.

Thanks for your concern, however I have been studying all aspects of bearded dragon husbandry for almost 5 years, including a lot of debates that go on about proper husbandry.

Why silkworms are good: (Quoted from www.beautifuldragons.com)
Contain an enzyme called serrapeptase, this has properties that make calcium absorption more efficient, can reduce inflammation, pain and best of all it can break down arterial plaque

And yes, some roaches have some hard outer shells that are hard for the beardie to digest, but roaches such as lobster roaches or dubia roaches have softer shells.

Mealworms have a thick chitinous shell that can cause impaction. It is never good for your dragon. Silks and Roaches have enough fat for a beardie.

As for the sand. it is actually not part of their natural environment, bearded dragons spend almost 100% of their lives in areas with hard, compact clay, not sand. Nor is sand digestible by any means, which will cause impaction. I can give you many people's contact info that have had beardies on sand, or have rescued beardies that had impaction from sand, even the washed play sand, and ESPECIALLY calci-sand.

If you would like my full reasoning on why I do NOT reccomend sand to ANYONE with ANY beardie (or leopard gecko), feel free to message me.
