You name it I feed it.
Quail, rabbits, mice. Rats, chicks, shrimp, crawfish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, still born snakes, lots of whole fish, anything I can get my hands on.
Whoe prey>meatballs 100%
Whole prey is a complete meal with no need for supplements.
Meatballs are lacking a large amount of vitamins and nutrients on top of a extremely low calcium level. The amount of "powder" needed to make up the difference is crazy and you end up with a chalky meat ball...
The can't digest fur is a myth..fur isn't hard for them to digest either...as long as husbandry meets the bare minimum requirements it won't ever be a problem
Care is similar just less fruit. Colombians max at around 3.5 foot. And Colombians are more active, but neither species is going to sit and let you handle them go long periods of time. They are both active lizards and will be on the go exploring.
For lights I like PAR 38 halogen bulbs 60-80...
