    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....

Once again I have a question. I went to a reptile show yesterday here in Michigan. I got my babies some small silkworms...but I negelected to ask if I should calcium coat them or are they OK just like they are. I bought this mixture there that you use everytime you feed them crickets..didn't know if I should put them on the worms or not. They really love those worms but I only give as a treat and let them eat those out of my hand. I wasn't sure of the fat content or anything about them. I should look it up but y'all are more knowledgable from experience.
When I got them the guy said they were only one week old making them 3 weeks old last Friday...compairing them in size to some at the show...they are a bit older or they are really big 3 week olds. But the past week they have become little eating pooping machines. I did get them a bigger tank...a 55 gallon Marty tank so now I can regulate the temperature much better for them.
Thanks in advacne on your info on Silkworms

I LOVE silkworms, the best feeder out there next to roaches. THey can be a staple, but it gets expensive. If you will be feeding dusted crickets too, you don't have you dust the silkworms. Mulberryfarms.com has a nutrition chart i think.
Many times dragons from different lines will have different growth rates. Or the breeder isn't giving them the attention you are, thus yours are growing faster.
