European Glass lizard

Wow....we saw a European Glass Lizard at the pet shop today when we went to get Sally a 20 Long Critter Cage. It was probably about 2 and a half feet long or so and absolutely amazing in appearance. Its face was awesome looking!

I found pictures of one here:http://www.tomhalvorsen.co.uk/images...slizard110.jpg

and here:
http://greennature.com/gallery/lizar...n_glass_lizard

The pet store was feeding it dog food (wet rectangles of firm meaty looking stuff with vegetables mixed in, I think), but this care sheet says it should be getting crickets, worms and pinkies...I think I'll print a copy and give it to the guy at the pet store...http://www.wnyherp.org/care-sheets/l...heltopusik.php

Does anyone out there have one of these amazing lizards? It was so cool! My brain kept saying "snake" because it hasn't got legs, but I had to keep telling myself, "Lizard"

It could have been one of the gelatin based herp foods that are available. There are several of them called Dragon Yummies, Iguana Yummies, etc. Sort of looks like dog food mixed with jello! I tried the dragon yummies on my beardeds. They wouldn't have anything to do with them.

The pet store guy claimed it eats dog food, so I'm not sure....I hope it was a herp food and something more suitable for a lizard. Gosh, it was such a cool creature.
