Is there anyone here that feeds termites to their lizards. If so in what type of container do you keep them ?
Can they scale smooth surface ie Plastic?
What do you feed them to gutload ?

Madcow you cannot gutload termites. They can be used for an occasional snack but cannot be a sole source of food.

Break off a piece of the termite heap and the lizards will help themselves as the termites move around.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Termites need a queen to lay eggs, don't they? Knock a mound and find the queen?
