Feeding wasps to leos

trex8692 Dec 04, 2010 11:30 PM

If i cut off the stinger of a wasp, can i feed it to me leo without any adverse side effects?

I just caught a wasp today and since i hate those little buggers i was wondering if my pet would be able to safely consume it.

Please don't do this. Even if it's otherwise safe, you can't guarantee that the wasp doesn't have parasites or pesticides in or on it that could harm your gecko.
