I have my leo on a mealie staple and every now and then i throw a few wax worms in there to mix it up. the reason i dont feed her crix is because the two times i put them in there she seems very uninterested and she has a VERY hard time catching them if she is. So my question, what else would be good to feed her and where can i get it cause shes really gettin tired of all those hard shell worms.

when my leos had a hard time eating crickets I would put the crickets in a plastic sandwich bag first and pinch off the crickets legs. It makes a much easier prey for the leo. With enough practice your leo will learn to be able to eat the crickets even with the legs on...
