Silkworms anyone? they may look gross but must be great! I know leopard geckos dont like them sometimes. but i think they do! 6 out of 8 of my geckos LOVE silkworms. i find Using there silk as a "fishing pole" and fishing the worm and moving it around the cage by the silk. even gets the leopard geckos that dont like silkworms to "try" it. Yummy yum yum!..but you dont have to take my word for it!

Like i was saying for the ruff eaters! Use the there silk like a fishing line. you can "hold/move" them from the "Line" and the geckos dont see you moving it. they really think its moving all by itself.

So Cool.. I need to try silkies now. They seem a lot better then these freaking supers!

I like how you use the silk to dangle the worm to grab the leos attention.

are these guys easy to breed? Do the worms breed, or do they turn into something else (beetles, moths)?
