Wax worms are a bit fatty. More like a dessert than a meal.
They are softer bodied so you can feed one a bit bigger than you would a cricket. Just try to find small ones if you can. They can get pretty fat.
By the picture it looks like he is big enough for the waxworms. You said he is 8"? Is that from head to tip of tail? So hard to tell in pics for me.
My Calypso is a bit over 4 months and can handle the waxworms.
Yes hes about 8" from head to tip of the tail i might try some next week but till
then ill continue with the crickets even though he doesint eat them much.
My young dragon eats about 60 bugs a day now. Of course the phoenix worms are small. She eats less bugs when I feed the butterworms. It seems one butterworm is equal to five phoenix worms for her.
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
