Super/Morio Worms

[Fal]

Hi folks, long time no speak! I've been watching in the background on the forum again for a while, but never seem to have the time to sit down and have a good look at new threads or post etc.. but finally got a day off where I don't have to do 101 things lol

Anywhoo.. i'm wondering about supers for Draco. I just measured him and he is now 16" from nose to tail tip! However, i'm a little confuzzled on the old 16/17" rule, because a LOT of Beardies I see have stubby tails etc... where as Draco has a full, never been nipped, tail. When people say 16/17" until you feed supers, how do they figure that out if their Beardie has a stubby/nipped tail from when they were a babby? I mean, Draco hasn't, so I assume his 16" is a correct measurement and so he would now be able to take Supers, or am I better waiting a while longer, until he is over 17"?

He normally eats Locust btw, that's his staple, with occasional waxworm as a treat and very occasionally (when we can get them) pheonix/butter/silk worms.

Cheers all,
Jon

At 16 inches you can introduce supers to his diet. Give him just a few Smaller ones at first. Let him bask afterwards to properly digest them and ensure he passes it all in his poop.

Ok cool, cheers!!

As long as he's 16 inches then you're fine to start introducing supers. Just make sure that he's digesting them properly and just a head's up, once I gave mine supers that's all they want most of the time!!!

Thanks again!

Might leave it a bit longer, store doesn't have any for now, but if we see any, we'll try them as a treat! Thanks!
