[…]and other ground-nesting birds, lizards and their eggs, tortoise eggs, locusts and other large insects and carrion.

Research has shown that, immediately after dry season fires, the percentage of large invertebrates in the frilled dragons’ diets increases significantly. It seems that the lizards are able to see larger […]
[…]exterminators, the only people who actively seek out termites – but we have good reason. These insects (fascinating in their own right, by the way) are a valuable food source for a number of reptiles and amphibians.

[…]moisture levels. Ravenous predators (feed them crickets, roaches, waxworms, moths and other insects) and quick to “take offense”, these beauties live up to the “tiger” portion of their name quite well! Haitian Brown Tarantula, Phormictopus cancerides This species was formerly imported in large numbers, and was relatively inexpensive for […]
