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.

Superworms (Zoophobas)
Well, I cracked open a can of superworms at the petstore today and OMG their H  GE! The were a good 2 - 2 1/2" inches long. I bought a can and tried feeding some to the adult females I'm looking after for someone right now and they were totally freaked out. What kind of leo would you need to have them eat a monstosity like that?
I'd like to switch my male over to them as soon as he's big enough since I hear they're more nutritious, but I don't even know if a full grown male can handle them. Any of you superworm feeders have advice or comments on feeding these things?

Hmm... how big are your superworms? The ones I bought were about 2 1/2 inches long and they seem to have a bite (rarrgg!). I'll try one on Mr. Ripples tonight see if he can take one down, and maybe I'll stop fiddling with these mealworms...

Hmm... well I just tried giving him one, and he ran away from it a few times once he saw the size of the thing, but I guess curiosity overcame him and he took a bite, but he had to spit it out because it was fighting him. He did get it down the second time after chasing it around his tank (I guess that first bite took the fight out of it) but not without some difficulty, he seemed a little irked after eating it, he's hiding now... hope he's okay.

Haha, you were right Robin, he's doing quite alright right now.
