Message | Hello. I'm very interested in current HL husbandry and I'd like to get your opinions. I was curator of herpetology at the Oklahoma City Zoo for 22 years where we bread a variety of interesting lizards, inclding Chameleo, Chlamydosaurus, Heloderma, Uromastyx and Varanus. We kept Phrynosoma cornutum in the mid/late 90's and hatched quite a few. As I remember we fed very few ants, acidifying drinking water instead. Well, Ive slept sence then. Anybody working in that direction? Any success or has it not worked. How did you acidify the water if it worked? Has anyone laid down and watched what the lizards really are eating? I tried but it was too freaking hot. But picking apart lizard poop in those spots,(we know it was HL poop because we watched them do it)we found flower beetle parts made up the majority, at least in that location. I'm working with a new natural history center in SW Oklahoma that is very interested in improving our understaning of Phrynosoma and its conservation. I'd really like to develop a dialoge with people who appreciate these goals. Look forward to hearing from you. David |
