The temps are perfect from what I can tell =) yeah! I am going to leave the 25 watt night bulb on tonight I think cause the Under Tank Heater isn't very big. I doubt it will keep the tank warm. I don't know though I read they don't need a heat light with a Under Tank Heater. I would rather be safe though...since it is a biger tank. what do you all think?

I think it sounds like a plan!! Good luck!!

ok..

Well what about giant mealworms are they bad for lizards cause (don't know) are they geneticall altered?

And are silworms fattening like wax worms so should they be fed only as a treat or can they be a staple along with the mealies and crickets?

Not sure about the gentics thing, but i'm pretty sure that super are fine! Silkworms yes should only be fed as a treat as well! Good luck!

If by giant mealworms you are referring to superworms (zophoba morio), no, they're not genetically enhanced or altered =) They're just a different species. They're quite safe, don't worry.

Silkworms are not fat and can be used as staple. In fact, in nutritional terms, they're better than crickets! But since we're talking about a leo, keep in mind that Leopard Geckos should be fed mainly on mealworms.

Yea I was told silky's are not that great of a staple?? (not sure how true) Also, i read that Baby Leopard Geckos should not have mealies till about juvi or sub adult, due to impaction may occur, and is more likely in babies? I feed all mine staple of crix my 90 g female only eats mealies though, she is on staple of mealies. But everyone else only gets like 2 a day as a treat. This is ok right?

You were told wrong. Silkworms are probably the best staple around. The only downside is their menu! Getting fresh mulberry leaves for them everyday is kind of complicated! =)

No, you can feed them mealworms at any age. There's only risk of impaction if you are... lets say distracted =) and feed adult size mealworms to new born baby Leopard Geckos.

The thing about mealworms vs crickets in regard to leo's diet, is that some breeders claim that mealworm fed Leopard Geckos live longer than cricket fed Leopard Geckos, two of them are Ron Tremper and Philippe de Vosjoli.

I see, haha nicely said! I appreciate your help!! Too many OPINIONS ya know never really know what the heck is true! haha Thanks though very well put!

Silkworms are the best as RBL said. Most people feed them as a treet due to care, and cost of silkworms. Roaches are another great food, just as costly too.
Meal worms can be given at any age, I start my hatchlings on them, then mixed in crickets, waxworms, silkworms, and phenoix worms.
