Hi HerpW

I just joined the forum and my hatchling midland painted were eating cut up worms when I had them outside after they hatched, when I brought them in this fall they stopped eating the worms and were dwindling. Finally I got some freeze dried bloodworms, (fish food that most pet stores). They go for it like crazy, Iam trying to get them to eat reptomim but all they like are the blood worms they have put on weight and are looking really good. I have read that painted usually don't eat greens until they are older.
I have three adult painted and they eat dandelion greens and romaine lettuce along with trout chow and reptomin. They seem to also be doing good.
Good Luck

Steve
