: pile of mustard/turnip/collard greens on part of the plate with the salad!
: When I do this, he seems to eat some salad and leafy greens, but never eats all, I always
: put too much. Hope this is healthy! I do supplement with Reptocal every other day and Vitolife
: once a week! He basks under is 7% ESU UVB light and heat light! He is a juvenille, but seems
