Love Orca, it's Jaws but a revenge plot with a sad ending.

Impossible Pictures, the guys who did the effects for the Walking With series, have been working on a documentary called Surviving Earth, about the world's extinction events.

You can already tell from the behind the scenes promotional stuff that as much love and care is going into this as went into the Walking With series.

But you're mentally ill anon so your view is worth less according to yourself, why else would you sperg out over someone else being sick as if they chose to be? You can't even understand the moral difference between a condition like schizophrenia and deliberate bad action. Don't worry, it's not that uncommon to be an antisocial sperg on this board so you won't stand out all that much.

They're brothers but had to be separated for like a month when we first got them because the grey one had parvo.

But they don't really fight for real, its more one just trying to play and the other getting mad because he doesn't want to.

a lot of new caledonian breeders feed culls (ie, deformed/crippled ones) to gargs. Retarded baby crested geckos are probably their main vertebrate prey in the wild so that's as natural as you're gonna get. Aside from that mourning geckos are probably your best bet, I wouldn't buy anoles to feed just because so many of them are some shit floridaman caught in his backyard while it's relatively easier to develop a clean colony of mourning geckos. Lizard-lizard is about as easy of a parasite transition as you're going to get so I would be very hesitant to feed anything you can't vet as 100% squeaky clean.

You're not going to produce enough to make them a primary feeder but I'm also pretty skeptical that any new caledonians are primarily vertebrate eaters (>>5078240). Plus farming your own mournings is easy as fuck if you already have cresties. They can eat 90% crested gecko diet with no ill effect as far as I've observed. Occasionally throw some smaller crickets in with them and they're good.
>>
>>5086937
>>5086942
i did consider both of those but 1) as you mention anoles are mostly wild caught so risk of parasites etc. and 2) didn't want to bother with a whole mourning gecko setup. i could but i don't want to feed them alive to my lizard since it's kind of a suffering buzzkill if i can't just euthanize them first, the whole reason i got this gecko was because of the allegedly simple diet which is now looking to be misleading. if i have no other choice mourning geckos it is i guess, there are really no better options?
>>
>>5086954
it's not misleading, all new caledonian geckos do OK on a diet of 80% or more MRP.
a lot of people next-level themselves into feeling shitty about not feeding a 'perfectly natural' diet to a reptile that you're keeping in a glass box.
the diet doesn't need to be perfectly natural. given the choice they typically prefer eating geckoslop to whole foods just like humans prefer processed goyslop, difference being is geckoslop is generally more nutritionally balanced than human goyslop and preferable to basically every food except dusted insects and occasional reptillian vertebrate pray. Maybe a pinky mouse a couple of times a year.
leachies occasionally raid bird nests and devour chicks, doesn't mean you're an abusive keeper for not finding newly hatched live quail chicks for your leachie to eat.

tl;dr literally nothing about this is natural but that's not bad, nature is brutal and you offer security and stability that no wild animal has even if your conditions aren't 1:1 mirror of a natural environment.
>>
>>5086961
fair enough. but the reason i'm suspicious of all this is just because they are still such relatively mysterious animals and perhaps the conventional wisdom could see improvements; chameleons were thought to be fragile but turns out they can live for a good while and care standards were just shit as >>5078197 says. so i wonder if i can get my gecko to 30+ with alternative methods versus the usual CGDslop etc.
>>
>>5086966
almost all of those 30+ year old geckos have been eating MRP since it has been available.
fresh fruit is generally less healthy than MRP is imo.
just make sure you're giving them chitinous insects reasonably frequently imo.
