Okay I checked out the nutritional value chart and it appears Silk worms gut loaded with mulberry leaves are the best insects for reptiles(beardie, basilisk, and basalisk in my case).
I can get 500 Crickets(1/2" app) for $10, and the hassle of crickets running around the house (everywhere) the noise and the little boogers croaking on me. I can also get 1000 (1/2" app) for $25, another $15 for 1lb of mulberry leaves. I'm thinking the little extra would suite me and the herps better, and only being 1/2" the silk worms can grow up to 3" and probably would by time I was done with 1000 of the suckers. Has anyone kept live silk worms and how do you go about that? Thanks in advance
