Tip on feeders for juvies

ernstjanl May 24, 2004 11:00 PM

This should be amusing and informative-- go out and check your trees!

Update on the winter-moth (green inchworm) infestation: everyone EXCEPT HERPERS up in arms as 1/2-inch caterpillars defoliate hardwood trees, cover cars with poop, and hang everywhere. You must first pick them out of your hair after coming inside.
However, my friend's frogs, and my chameleon and day geckos, AND my cousins small leopard geck are just gorging on these tasty little guys. no pesticides to worry about.
PLEASE bring your herps to Cape COd and feed them as much as you can.......Everyone needs to do their part!...
or let me know if you want a truckload o' caterpillars (green inchworms) I shake 'em of the trees by thousands. feed maple leaves or keep in fridge.
Peace, Ernie Luikart eluikart@capecod.net
