Interesting new whole prey item...
Living in the desert means I don't have access to very many food sources. Everything here is imported- it means the price of simple things like fresh water prey items are extremely high. Recently I've been considering going out with a local herp group into the desert to do some blacklight hunting for scorpions. Many of them feed them to some of their own collection- apparently bearded dragons love them. Stingers are removed beforehand, of course.
So what do you guys think? Safe to feed to a Nile/ Sav/ Salvator if it has the stinger removed? Are there an parasites etc that could be transferred?
