Hi, an alternative for you might be a crested gecko or gargoyle gecko. We have both & also a leopard. The leopard eats mostly meal worms and some crickets, she doesn't like to chase crickets, she's fat and we've had her a long time. We have a young beardie, she loves live crickets and meal worms, I was looking at this for her for times when we run out of live ones until I get to the store. There isn't a lot of nutritional info on it, I don't know if they could survive solely on this. Why I suggest a crested or gargoyle is that ours live on a powdered food from Pangea Reptile. You mix it with water to like a baby food consistency, it's a complete diet , comes in many flavores, with or without insects. I buy it on line, stores around here don't have it. They prefer it over Zoomed or Rapashy brand. My geckos love it and we've had them for many years also. All my critters act and look very healthy. A good thing about geckos is they don't require any special heating or lighting unlike beardies. I hope this helps you.
