It looks functional. Theres no need to repeatedly define [SELECT_CASTE:ALL] though unless you recently defined them or selected, say, the female caste there to give them eggs. Once is enough, the game will remember from then on its talking about every caste. And double check, because i dont see one, that they have the [WEBIMMUNE] tag in there somewhere or theyll get stuck in their own webbing. Thats all i can see that would improve the file in general.
If you want to make them truly "ravenous" you can give them another interaction, an attack at touch range only, to turn the prey into an immobile creature that boils away and disappears, making it look like theyre getting eaten alive. Bonus points for giving that creature an interaction that makes the lizard immobile during that process so theyre not wandering around

I make Spellcrafts!
I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Ah yes, forgot to add web immune. The reason I used [SELECT_CASTE:ALL] so many times was because the code for this was originally much funkier until I cleaned it up. I had broken it into sections separated by lines of ==== with labels so I could keep track of what I had added.


Thankies for the reminder to add web immune!
