I recommend using uro dust made by t-rex company (I believe)and giving it an occassional waxworm if it accepts them.

at the advice of some friends, i tried vitamin coated peas and fresh soy beans and my mali went from 170 to 293 in about 3 months. however i stopped the soybeans when she hit 240 which was about a month and a half after i started feeding them to her. i also use the uro dust now too.
