    Phoenix Worms

    Oh no, I won't do roaches either. I can't stand them and the idea of purposely bringing them into our home, ew... hmm... our beardie seems to be doing better since his intestinal parasites and will eat superworms and mealworms but will still not eat our crickets. You think he's bored with them?

    Oh wow, if he ate that many a day it would be much more than the cost of crickets! Can't do that! Our is about 12" long and a year old.

    Phoenix Worms

    I am thinking of ordering these as a staple food. Our beardie is 1 year old and is used to crickets. I like the idea of the calcium rich worms and also the no smell or noise. HOw many worms would you feed on a daily basis? I don't know how many to order. Thanks!

    RI or something else? - UPDATE

    RI or something else? - UPDATE

    His breathing is labored at times, not all the time. We have a digital probe thermometer with humidity as well. It said the humidity was 56% just now. He is in a 4x2x2 wooden enclosure with plexi doors and vents. We have a strip light with a Reptiglo 10.0 for UVB. He can get to within about...
