I'm not understanding this one. I guess maybe the gist is to let babies eat
more and get a little ahead of the game. Don't know much about
phantasticus. Don't know much about the French I took. But I thought that
lizards (pardon me for the generalization) didn't eat until they shed
anyway. In any case, my gut feeling (and probably the babies' too) is that
cooling thermoregulating animals like lizards is not the best idea, and
maybe a good invitation for a cold.
Of course, let me add the caveat that I have no experience breeding
_anything_ and little experience with geckos limited to Roxy, my juvie
leopard gecko. So basically I'm talking through my hat, and if anyone else
has experience which contradicts my idea, best listen to them.
Set me straight!
