Bearded Dragon eats Green Anole lizard for the first time !

I try to feed my bearded dragons a variety of food, because in the wild they would have this opportunity. Although Anoles wouldn't be available in Australia, bearded dragons prey upon a multitude of creatures smaller than themselves. This would include smaller lizards, so I see no problem with feeding them Anoles. "Bearded dragons are opportunistic omnivores. They live in areas where food may be hard to find, so bearded dragons are not finicky eaters. Their stomachs are large to accommodate large quantities of plant matter, insects, spiders, and the occasional small rodent or lizard; about 20 percent of their total diet is plant matter."- nationalzoo.si.edu. However, to be humane, I don't feed my bearded dragons live pinkies, mice, anoles and so on. When I saw this Anole was deceased in the pet store, I decided to go ahead and purchase it (for half the original price). I'm aware of the cause of death (for those concerned about diseases, parasites, and so on). First, I try to let Draco eat the Green Anole. He didn't know how to eat it, though. So, I end up letting Gojira finish the job. When she's eating him, you hear CRUNCH!!
