Juveniles may be fed crickets, finely chopped cat food, mashed bananas and apples. The juvenile stage is normally carnivorous, whereas, the adult is omnivorous in nature. The ritual chasing and biting display is an important part of the courting behavior. Gestation is six weeks. The mother will stay with and protect her young for several days after birth.
Juveniles move rapidly and stress easily.
They are more fragile and are prone to some deficiencies and diseases. Egernia cunninghami is not endangered. They are rather widespread and relatively common in many areas of Australia. This information submitted as an assignment for Zoology 101 at Leeward Community College.
