my experience is with Reds and Blues but it sounds like you got things under control. You might want to add the occational egg. Roaches and silkies also make good feeder insects. When they get larger those crix and mealies wont cut it. _________________ Bennett

you can buy them by the egg and hatch them yourself (really easy to do, I've done it a few times!) or buy them already big. Actually pretty neat to mess with lol. Anyways....good luck with your new guy! As babies I personally would feed everyday...that's me. _________________ John Light
