Butterworms

[Gonser]

Wow, just tried these and the leos go nots over them...very pricey though. I would recommend butterworms under special circumstances to stimulate appetites for picky eaters or to get a newly acquired leo stimulated to eat. Great feeders!

Yeah my leos love butterworms, they aren't to expensive where I am great for a weekend treat.
