Hows it going?

THeres nothing against worms of any kind, its all about simple application. In practice, varanids "do" better when rodents are the base of the diet. Remember, I never ever said, to only feed rodents.

I have without question tested RODENTS ONLY on several species and recieved superior results. But that is not what I recomend. Other prey items are fun to add to the diet every now and again.

I also have never gone by the nutritional make up of a prey item. I have always gone by HOW that prey item preformed in practice. As that is the most accurate means of judging a food item. In other words, judging food items by makeup is academic when compared to judging based on application.

I do not understand the concept of A or Z, that is, all this or all that. THat is not in my makeup. I couldn't do that if I tried. So I say, a BASE, which means, mostly or a higher percentage of. Or maybe the part of the diet that is reliable. Cheers
