It's not necesarily the reason he took the vid.....I have a vid of my now lost savannah monitor eating a live pinkie frmo my hand....my daughter is in the background giggling and you can hear the pinkie squeaking....there's a few people in here who know what vid I'm talking about, cause I openly showed it...there is also a thread that I have posted on here in the feeding section of the forum of 2 of my female leos fighting over a pinkie...it wasn't what I was trying to do when I fed Aaliyah the pinkie, but it made a heck of a pic before I broke them up and I went and bought them more pinks to eat.

And who's to say that in the wild a BD is not going to ever, in it's whole life, eat another smaller lizard...I think that instinct would tell a BD if something was going to harm it.

Im thinking of this from the health standpoint. Really, bd's, leo's, hell alot of lizards are cannibles, i could care less about that unless it happened to me in which the leo would be locked in solitary confinement for the rest of its life. Its just...you buy a random anole, you dunno if its wild or captive bred, and you just feed it to your bd. Ten days later your bd drops dead. See the chain of you feed your reptile a stupid thing and get yourself screwed? And plus you can tell it was for entertainment because he then took up the tail at the end and poked his bd in the face with it to try and get it to eat the wiggling tail too.

You are assuming a lot. You have no idea what was in his mind, or where he got the anole, it could have been a feeder CB anole for all you know. Just because he was trying to get the BD to eat the tail means nothing. He may have not wanted to waist the tail, not that it has much nutritional value.

I don't get how you thinking feeding live prey, that an animal could naturally come accross, and makeing a video of it is just purely entertainment and all wrong. You are judging someone you don't know anything about or what they are thinking.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I know of a lot of breeders that use anoles as food. Just look in the net and you will see that there are plenty of diferent companies that sell feeder anoles. Would i feed my dragons them, no, nor do i feed my geckos pinkies. But the people who feed them aren;t wrong in doing so, thats their choice and there is ntohing wrong with it. I see your point but its your opinion that you are expressing and trying to push it on everyone else.

Tonya,

When your little dragons start showing some aggression let them bite your finger. The bite like little puppies, they even shake their little heads. Don;t worry it won't hurt.

1. The first video is pretty cool, I haven't seen a bearded eat another lizard and it is most certainly not unethical, immoral, illegal or any of the like to feed such an animal to another nor to film it.

2. The savannah video is sweet. He trusts you so much! I really want a savannah baby, but don't know if a 20L will be good enough for the first 6 months.
