In Reply to: Lyres feeding on rodents posted by PeeBee on February 26, 2003 at 22:43:12:
I feel better about looking to collect one or two. I live in California and it is illegal to release any reptile into the wild. Even if you take a reptile you collect and release it at the same spot you found it. So I'm always concerned with collecting a snake whose primary prey is lizards.
::Do you feed the lyre you collected rodents? I'm thinking one obstacle I'll need to tackle is getting the lyres I collect switched over from lizards to rodents. Did you have to do that?
:I have a sonoran lyre that I collected 2 years ago. It feeds well on dead fuzzies, but prefers them alive, I had another one I'd caught at the same time that just recently died during brumation. That one would only take live fuzzies.
:Years ago I had 2 baja lyres that lived a number of years in captivity, feeding quite well on mice. So well, that they became fat (like a fat alterna) and I had to cut back their feedings.
:I don't think I ever needed to feed any of the lizards to get them eating. (they were all subadults to adults when they were acquired)
