Cocoa contains large amounts of theobromine, a stimulant that is similar to caffeine.

It is metabolized more slowly in reptiles than in mammals, which means that it can stay in their system for longer and cause more problems.

En plus de la théobromine, chocolate also contains other compounds that are harmful to reptiles.

These compounds can damage the liver and kidneys in your beardie, and can also lead to heart problems.
