Leo List...

Mine will only eat three at most usually.

I'm guessing you're going to use the paper towel as substrate?

Alright, ty.

Yea I went on and read it too, but you want to dust with calcium more often than you do with vitamins so thats kind of impossible to do if they are combined.... you can keep that and use it as your vit. supplement but I would definately recomend getting a calcium supplement also.

And my babies eat at least 15 mealworms each, it takes them about 5 min to down that many.... 3 sounds like an under feeding if that is all you are feeding them, that doesnt seem right. And there is nothing wrong with leaving meal worms in the dish at all times, when they are hungry they will eat and when they are full they will stop. My babies eat tons! So I try to limit it to about 20 a day for each

Does it matter how big the Mealworms are and can they be staple food with Leos?

hunter94, to answer your question about the t-stat, you DEFINITELY could get a lower wattage. That heat pad should only be drawing ~10 watts or so (the one on my 10g tank is 8 watts). I'd use that t-stat for a rack! I personally use a rheostat.

cstruthers, one day I presented one of my beardies with well over 100 small-medium mealworms. He was eating them like a pig eating from a troth, just mouthfuls of mealworms. He got about half of them down before I decided that I made a mistake and took out the dish. His poop was very interesting the following day.

The rheostat ends up to be around the same price as a Zilla 500 watt thermostat.
