    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was wondering what size cricket people use with there full sized Leo's? And also if your getting them delivered, who is a good reputable dealer to order from.
I was using Medium s for my guys. The joint I buy them from only sell Small, Med & Large, and one of the ladies there convinced me to buy Large since there the same price and have more meat to them. I find my guys like them and seam to have an easier time hunting them down (we wouldn't want them to have to work to hard, now would we........lol). My concern is that there is little control over the size of the large ones, they move them on in size as they grow. The current herd (is that the right word for a group of feeder?...:D ) are pretty large, with full wings and I know one of my boys, Elvis, was having a little trouble with one and let me pull it out of his mouth.

Just Wondering

i buy 5 week old crickets, that gives them a little while before they start dying off. I order mine from reptilefood.com decent prices, but shipping can be expensive in the winter months.
 
Large crickets

I feed my adult leos mainly superworms and mealworms, but do feed crix maybe once a week. I feed them large adults when I have them. I order all my feeder bugs from Grubco
 
I use reptilefood.com also, I usually get 1/2" that way thecan be feed what i want them to grow on. I use every size for my leos, but then again I have some that are 80+ grams.
