Sap feeding is widespread among Australian geckoes but they are widely regarded as insectivores. In her honours research, Corrine Edwards shows that dtellas feed on sap frequently. So should they be classified as omnivores?

Did @GeoffWhile’s plenary make you fall in love with #socialHerps? Or, are you curious to learn more and ask more questions?
Either way, come to the #wch9 #wch2020 symposium on social herpetofauna tomorrow starting at 11:00 AM in Castle 2. Looking forward to seeing you there!
