    Hi everyone, I want to know what are some food sources for diamondbacks that would keep their beak trimmed. My wildcaught’s beak seems to be getthing thicker and thicker, and what seems to become an overbite. I’ve tried cuttlebone already, but they never even look at it. I believe they bite on shells in the wild to keep their beak in shape, but what kind of shell fish is best (and least likely to carry parasites)? Thanks Jim

    i keep coral bedding in my aquarium, and my db likes to bite on the coral to keep her beak trimmed. — In diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com, “blueshift1229”
