This wax worm thing is annoying, its not that bad. Just don't depend on them and feed them some here and there once a week maybe every other week Id say about 10 of them, I never had any problems. I hatched a Leo that I gave to a friend and he fed mostly waxies while he was at collage while it was a Juvie and he didn't have any troubles either. I know he shouldn't have fed that many cause of other reasons but what could I have done to stop him. The bottom line was he never had any problems switching its diet or with its health and the thing is !!HUGE!! if anything crickets are the least nutritious, they need to constantly be fed nutritious foods and constantly need to be cleaned. Mealies, supers, red mealies, waxies and silks along with some roaches, butter worms "Occasionaly", pheonix worms...there is a huge list of healthy things besides stupid crickets that we should be looking into. The only thing crickets have on these items is the fact that almost every pet store has them and its not a hassel obtaining them...put it this way...I moved to Delaware a while ago..( I have since moved back to PA) I took all my animals with me, there wasnt a good petshop for quite a distance ( Id say about 35 miles Im not traveling that every other day) that had constant food.. beeing crickets.. for my animals. Once I started ordering foods off line I had so much more success with health, color, and so on, and so on, it was un real.
