Hi,
I've had a look around the net and this site but can't seem to find a straight forward answer.
I had left some kitten kibble outside in the rain and forgot about it for about a week (got side tracked when cleaning out the cattery and just decided to leave the cat inside for the duration of the rain). Yesterday when I went to clean up the yard I found it and it had hundreds of maggots in it.
Now, our lizard collection is a black-headed monitor (5 months old), a narrow banded sand swimmer, and a broad banded sand swimmer pair (all 3 approx 3yo).
I told my partner what I had found and he began suggesting feeding maggots to the sand swimmers..
Now, my question is, what are the pit falls to feeding maggots to sand swimmers? Do they pose any health risks? Could the goanna eat them also?
Any info or past experiences with feeding maggots is welcome.
Thanks.
