hello all,
i was wondering what would be good to alternate mealies with for my leo. he seems to be getting bored with mealies day in a day out (heck who wouldn't) and i want to add more of a variety to his diet. crickets are a no except once in a great while. he normally acts like hes gonna go for them and then walks away leaving them in his tank for too long and once they're in the only way they're comin out is if my dad gets them for me. crickets creep me out so badly that when feeding them i get the shakes. so i need something else that can be given on a shift basis, like one week mealies one week something else. any suggestions?

Silkworms are a great staple, so are lobster roaches

roaches, silkworms, superworms are a great variety.

how many superworms a night? and also where can i get silworms, website wise, my local petstores do not carry silks. i think that i can go with mealies, silks, and supers. roaches are a no as well, my dad would kill me if i brought any type of roach into the house

3-4 superworms everyother day for adults, i wouldnt recommend them for babies though. Silkiestogo.com is a good place for silkworms.
