   The lizard is mocking you. I can tell by the smug look on his face.

   Yes, he does have an attitude problem.

   Can a lizard be spoiled? I think we’ve got a candidate. :)

   First off, you’re serving from the wrong side. Any discerning lizard will be put off by that immediately.

   Secondly, there are no candles, napkins and a noticeable lack of red wine. (chateau de neuf du pop goes very nicely with worm, grub or fish). You need to put him in the mood

   And finally, you could have put a little work into the presentation of the meal. would it have killed you to chop the worm and toss it gently in a salad. To have cooked it in a white wine cream sauce?

   I hope this wasn’t unduly harsh.

   p.s. I wouldn’t hold your breath for a tip

   rofl…We’ve got a beardie too and as she gets older she definitely does seem to have a problem seeing her worms. I don’t like feeding her out of my hand because sometimes she gets some of my finger and those little teeth HURT!! Usually I just drop them on the floor in front of her and make them wiggle and she’ll eat them. Usually. My last order of worms they sent me waxworms by mistake so she’s been getting nice and fat from those. We call them “lizard candy”.

   He’s quite a pretty boy. :)

   Donald,

   Thank you for the wonderful advice. You are absolutely right. I have been serving from the wrong side. What was I thinking?

   And, it was thoughtless for me to skip candles, napkins and wine and, in doing so, quell ambience. To make up for it, I’m popping a cork, as we speak. It’s a California Red, that pairs well with vegetables, according to the label.

   My husband used to serve the worms on a bed of freshly-cut baby lettuces, but that was when the lizard could see well enough to find them.

   Sadly, it’s too late to set the mood for him tonight. He’s fast asleep, tuckered out from a full day of mocking me. I’ll soothe my disappointment by drinking his glass of wine for him.

   Cheers. And, thanks again for the advice – and visit. :)

   Hi Michelle,

   We feed our guy Superworms, which are nice because they don’t require refrigeration and don’t turn into beetles. On the down side, they bite. He used to love large crickets, but they’re too hard for him to catch now. And, they don’t stay on spoons. :(

   Cheers :P

   Hi Ute :)

   If only I could take credit for it in some way. It’s just the way things go around here. :)
