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.

Mealworms?
Wax worms?

Evening feeding. How many
Crickets?

I am assuming you have a leopard gecko and my advice is for that. At that age, I would feed every night and about 10 appropriate sized crickets. Leave mealworms in a bowl and waxworms are really for treats (and they are addicting).
For your beardie, try to stay away from mealworms, switch to medium superworms. Greens in the morning is good to get them eating salad. For lunch and dinner feed as many crickets as he will eat in a 15 minute time frame (could be as much as 30 per feeding). Waxworms are treats and hornworms are full of moisture so maybe 2 a week, on different days.
