Alpine Blotched Bluetongue localities

[jordo]

Zen,
I don't know about diarrhea - hasn't happened to mine. But i do know that banana, tomato, peaches and probably a few other fleshy fruits are very high in potassium levels, which competes with calcium (in being digested). You can still feed them these fruits but just add some calcium powder to it so the lizards can still get their necessary calcium.

Thanks for the advice Jordo. Very informative. 8)
I didn't know about this. I'll put a sprinkle on their next fruit feast.


Here's some pics of a couple of Alpines from near Lithgow.

This is a beautiful big female over 50 cms long with great colouration, especially on the head.

This juvenile looked like a male to me. He's got the rich brick-red irises typical of males.
