keep or get rid of?

-okapi- · 02-27-06, 09:37 AM

I currently have 2 leopard geckos, a green iguana, a bull frog, a mealworm culture and a superworm culture. Mom said that I can get 2 more leos if i get rid of the superworms, however I feed small superworms to my leos, and large ones to my frog. If i get rid of them then I will not have a food source for my frog and will have to constantly buy large crickets to feed my frog. What are your thoughts on the matter? Should I keep the super worms, get rid of the superworms, or see if mom changes her mind?

does your mom understand that the superworms are food to your pets
if not inform her of the benefit of keeping them

Ok, mom and I have reached an agreement! No more superworm beetles and I can get 2 more leos! So when I run out of superworms Ill just have to buy more from wormman as opposed to breeding them myself. So my pets still get food, and I get more pets. Now Ive just gotta think of what to get... Mack snow for sure, but what else?

Thanks to all 5 of you who voted =)

or you could just put the superworm culture in a closet, its not as though they need light, and she probably wouldn't know...

problem solved

lol, thats where I keep them anyways. This whole situation is because one time while I was out of town, a piece of paper fell into my mealworm culture and the beetles used it as a ramp to get out and run out of my room. That same week some how 3 or 4 of the superworm beetles managed to get out of their breeder tub, I guess by piling up on eachother. So when I came back mom wasnt too happy with all the beetles running around.... The mealworms didnt bug her as much as the superworms though, I guess its just their size.

Ps- I left the lids off the tubs because I was out of town so I put whole carrots in each tub the day before I left and they cause alot of condensation to form in the tubs, so at the last minute before I left I took the lids off so mold wouldnt grow.

LOL that sounds just like my mom and I dont do mealworms anymore ony had it a month.
I would get a tangerine tornado from the urban gecko they have great lines of leos I plan on buying from them someday Im currently a owner of 1 from geckos etc. but the urban gecko is great.

Ive looked into the urban gecko too. However I have never ordered from them, just Alexhuereptiles.com and VMSherp.com. Alex has great customer service, I would really recomend him.
