My choice feeder is a mixture :)
I use mealies, silkies and crix.

Mix. Mealworms all the time usually in a dish so I guess they could be considered my staple...crickets once a week, and any other feeders I grab when I go to pet stores or the show maybe.

our babies get mealies and crix, our females (range from juvi to adult) get king worms and a few crix, and our two males get king worms, super worms, and a few crix

King worms are bad for your leos. All they really are are mealies on steriods.

I feed mealies as a main diet with a weekly treat day of crickets or wax worms. I have too many insect eating critters to be able to afford silkies!

Kings aren't mealies. They are sometimes referred to as Supers as well. I think the mealies on steroids are usually referred to as Giant Mealies... at least they are around here. :)

BTW, our staple is mealies 24/7 with a mix of butters,silks,crix,and Kings through the week with an occasional wax as a treat (once a month or so).

Kings are mealies supers are not the supers are just "worms" from a more moist environment were as king worms are just mealworms fed a hormone so that instead of putpating they just keep growing.

superworms, and mealworms are completely different species!

superworms, which are commonly purchased in Canada aren't steroid fed, they're just a different species, a larger species.

Crickets here, only one of my guys will take Mealies with any sort of regularity.
Occasional butter worms or silkworms for a treat.
