    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi,
I'm looking for help maintaing the California Legless (Anniella pulchra pulchra) lizard in captivity. My step duaghter found one on her ranch and has since passed it on to me for use in my educational program. I'm pretty sure I've got the environment down - sandy, loamy soil, cooler temps, etc. But need help with feed items. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ian
 
Personally I would let it go, BUT if you plan on keeping it this is what I found (I know nothing of this creature, so keep in mind that this is only what I found on a web site):) They are Invertivores that eat insects, insect larvae, and spiders. And you are right about the habitat.....Sand/dune, Shrubland/chaparral, Woodland - Hardwood, Woodland - Mixed. May forage in leaf litter during the day, emerging on the surface at dusk or at night. Hope I helped a little.
 
I've had one for a couple of months now. Your set up sounds a lot like mine. I've got it in a 1.5 gallon tank with a couple of inches of sand. I've got a shallow clay saucer as a water bowl. The clay is porus so the sand bellow the bowl stays slightly moist (I read this was important). I've tried small crickets, but it hasn't eaten them. The baby mealworms, and waxworms I've thrown in, have disappeared (the mealworms burrow so, I've checked to soil to make sure they're gone). Mine is also being used for education. If you find out any new info, please post it as I'd like mine to continue to do well.
