    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....

if i was to buy 250 wax worms or super worms would anyone know how to keep themm in foo and shelter wise
 
waxworms need to be kept in the fridge and don't need to be fed anything. The bedding their in is good enough. Superworms can be kept in oatmeal flakes, wheat bran bedding, oat bran bedding. Thick plastic is good for them container wise since they chew. I keep mine in a kritter keeper with 2 inches of bedding and give sweet potatoes for moisture. When the bedding looks like powder, it's time for a change. Definitely have good air flow to avoid mold and mildew buildup.
 
Keep in mind, waxworms are not good to be fed as a "staple" in their diet, they are more of a treat, like candy for Beardies, lol.

I keep my superworms in a tall, thick Rubbermaid container, with a couple inches of oatmeal mixed with ProGeckos gutload, and offer orange quarters, potato slices, and occasional greens (the same kind of greens I feed the dragons) for moisture. I don't have a lid on the container at all, as they cannot climb, and like Jessica said, good airflow is very important to avoid mold and yucky stuff.
