a couple of quick savannah questions
Hi everyone, i was out purchasing frozen shrimp from the asian store by my house and the owner was very worried about a sharp barb on the shrimps head harming my lizard. he advised me to cut it off before feeding. I not sure what kind of shrimp they are, but they are head on and wont have them in until tomorrows shipment. i figured i would run it by you guys for the cut or not to cut the barb. if there is any chance of him being hurt, i want to remove that risk, but this is also the same lizard that takes on crawdads and demolishes them.
my second question is i have the opportunity to trade a friend my monitor for his 2 babies that he is very confident are male and female. i would have liked a pair when i bought mine, but didnt have the money or space for 2 at the time so i stuck with what i could care for. now i would be able to provide for both of them and hopefully can get a breeding pair going. i understand that there is no profit margin on the babies, but i think it would be a fun project and give me something to shoot for. what do you guys think? would you do it? i really want to, he even offered to buy another baby and give me a trio in hopes that i would get a male and female. It really seems to be a win win for me, im just out a year of food for my monitor, and i dont even want to add that up haha
