Even most mated females did not feed beyond the critical limit.

They are mostly nocturnal, being most active late in the evening, although females with young may also feed during the day.

Only the female may feed the young with insects and berries.

The females, however, are predacious, and will feed on the fluids from live wounds.

The female also feeds and tends to the chicks by herself.

Once the eggs are hatched, both the male and female will feed the chicks.

The female alone incubates the eggs, and also feeds the nestlings.

The female may even feed her young, which is also unusual for a lizard.

The females still feed during this period, setting their burdens aside temporarily while they eat, then picking them up again.

The female rarely feeds the young birds after they have fledged.
