Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My superworm eaters are offered supers everyday. They usually eat up to 3, males eating more and females eating less. Some days they won’t take any but the next day they are offered more and they nail em’.

If they're both full grown adults, I would only feed 2-3 supers every other day. They're pretty fattening, so you don't want your leo to get overweight. I also don't recommend feeding any more than 4 or 5 supers at a time because it will cause your leo to have gigantic poops.
I used supers as a staple for my leos last year. They loved them too, but after about 4 or 5 months being on superworms, they got sick of them. The adults refused them (except for one guy) and the juveniles knew how to pick out the small supers from the mealworms. They were both the same size, so even if I mixed them up in the food boowl, my leos would spit out the supers and just go for the mealworms.

A gecko should be good to eat Supers Just as long as they are allright with Large Mealworms, ussually around 25 grams. When it comes to worms, Never start off with Super's though, start off with mealies and if they like mealies, then chances are theyll like supers. I keep Large mealies in my enclosures at all times in a small glazed dish with vitamins or calcium. like so... . I dont think a gecko could be overfed so I just keep it available at all times, that way they get as big as possible,

Not only that but there’s the chance of regurgitation. Adults usually know how much they can take and will stop when they’ve had enough. Younger juveniles don’t know “how far they can go” so they just keep eating and eating and eventually throw everything up. It’s just the learning cycle.

If they’re that big you can easily go 2-3 every other day. I offer my leos supers everyday even though they might not eat them. I just like giving them the option.
