feeding and transportation

Reptilefreak16 Apr 17, 2004 11:13 PM

Well im sure this has been asked before but i wanna know. What is the best way to fatten up leos? wax worms dont seem to work with my leos. None of my leos are in rough shape i just want them to be healthy and fat before i start breeding again.(they are too young now to breed.)
Some of you may remember a little more than a month ago i talked about how the first 2 females i ever breed died and the only contributing factor was the male in which they were breed to.(im not breeding him for a little while) So i dont need to lose anymore females, and now i got a nice colony of blizzards jungle albinos and super hypo tangs. which will be devistating to lose.(not that it wasnt devistating to lose the other 2) But any way the last female i lost, her first and only clutch hatched and are awesome! So what does everyone feed as a good "mass enhancer"

And my second question is, im going to the Hamburg reptile show and its about an 4 hour drive back to where i live. Whats the best way to transport leos,cresties or satanics (all of which i plan on getting!)back to my house cause them the least amount of stress?

sorry for the rambling on and on.

Try gutload your feeder and feed more food to Geckos. Just feed them many as they want.

Treat them like they are in shipping box. put them in deli and make sure the geckos don't move very easy.

You might also try feeding them pinkies (baby mice) every once in a while. Most of my leos love them.
