Feeder Lizards?

[woijchik89]

Do they sell these at all?

Cause I've been feeding both my emp scorpions these lizards i found in my backyard for the past 2 weeks. My scorps eat them like candy.

So if they don't have it, they outta, cause my scorps love em. They could be the feeder mouse alternitive.

Why is it that no one is up at 4:41 in the morning?

feed lizards if u want, they are more expensive than cockroaches and crickets, thats why there are no "feeder lizards"

dont u feel any guilt at putting little lizards to their death?

I consider anoles (the lizards I find most readily around here, this may not be what you're referring to though) to be something of a sweet meat when it comes to scorps and t's. My A. australis is getting one first thing next week. Same thing goes with the pinky mice I buy ever so occassionally. They are exponentially more expensive than crickets or roaches, but I think it's worth it to offer one of my pets a bit of variety in its otherwise dull and monotonous existence.

This is a pic of the lizard type I feed to my scorps, I would feed them geckos but they're cooler than lizards so there.

I would leave the nice lizards alone and just use crickets as food...

I'd be worried about rotting inside the cage with vertebrates being used as food, personally I think crickets are better, they're a nice clean food.

Lizards don't make any noise.
My scorps eat ALL the lizard, not just part, even the head, HOW do they do it?
Crikets arn't clean, they dirty the water dish, drown themself in it, POOP EVERYWHERE!
Lizards are better, my scorps can catch them faster than crikets. It's also very cool watching the kill Plus they're helping my scorps become more of an efficiont killer, that catch them even though they can camoflage, jump alot, and are very fast.
Plus, lizards cant harm scorpions at all.

Right now it's lizard breeding season, they're EVERYWHERE I cant get rid of them its annoying.

Plus lizards aren't expensive for me, crikets cost way more.

Youre the man! Feed your scorpions on your way. Do what you want... But I think you should feed your scorpions 50 % lizards and 50 % crickets not 100 % lizards.

Right now I'm trying to only feed them lizards as treats every now and then, but I can get them to stop eating lizards. I put in crickets but they don't like them, they'd rather have lizards.
They're addicted I tell you!

I feed crickets to my scorpions and to my true spiders but I did once feed a very small juvenile alligator lizard to an adult Scolopendra subspinipes once. Found only a few toes a couple of hours later.

I hear that watching something like an emperor eat a vertebre (spelling?) is pretty gross. Like.. it's not as if they kill it right away.. they just hold on tight with their pincers and start eating.

Is that correct?

Welll, I'm trying to sound humaine but let me put this into the correct terms. ABSOLUTLY! IT'S HILARIOUS!!!! The lizard doesn't feel nothing, until the emp get past the tail THEN he starts trying to get away! Man, it was so growse but the second both the lizards legs were off he died. I'm going to find out if they'll eat frozen lizards. But It is DISGUSTING cause you see its guts and everything. It's almost like he cut opened a bow and is unpacking its guts into its mouth, like if you look from the right angle you can see the space were various organs and flesh used to be it is SO cool! LoL

Need help, you?`Nah, its just that you see the beauty of carnage.
I'd love to give my emp some lizards

Correction, there are lizards that specialize in eating scorpions, nothing as large as an Emperor, but the Savannah Monitor in Africa finds deadly toxic buthids such as Androctonus and possibly Leiurus highly delectable without hesitance. It's immune.

My emperor doesn't seem to want to eat any verts.. I tried giving him a tree frog last night.. and he was mainly scared of it.. it actually was up against its claw at a point..

Although, he'd also eaten like three crickets earlier that day.. hehe.
