My Leopard Gecko eats a Butterworm
March 4, 2010 | Posted by rassad My 9 month old gecko. She sure does love butter worms but they are one of the most exspensive worms. She also loves silkworms, and phoenix worms. I feed them as staples as it’s easier then crickets and less of a hassle. Then like I said, just more money to spend. But all in all it’s worth it.

basicaly, yes. but it is probably best just to feed them crickets. so they don’t get lazy.
No. Superworms have a very thick hard outer shell which can cause impaction…which is deadly…stick to crickets or phoenix worms.
I ment it as a joke. I normally feed him superworms when he’s out of crickets.
she’s cute!
yum!
its a chubby fucker.. but rather a chubs than a skinny one… good looking gecko
nice vid i got 4 LEOPARD GECKOS, 2 ADULTS AND 2 BABIES. CHECK THEM OUT IN MY PROFILE PLZ!!!!
impaction is when the stomach gets blocked by something indigestible such as sand gets eaten and clumps together inside the stomach. It isnt caused by hard shells that are hard to digest. as long as it can be digested it is fine.
Who ever said superworms shells cause compaction is retarted, they have enough of an acidic stomach it will digest. But dont do superworms as a diet. But, nice gecko
Superworms (as their sold locally here) are a bit big for Leopards, far as I’ve seen. They HAVE developed leopard gecko food pellets now, but it must take a HELLUVA lot of feed training to get them onto them, what with all the vivication and everything.
No the superworms arent, they’re like pinkies only worms, but super worms are more of a treat then anything.
in the end she looks satisfied lol
your gecko is going to have vitamin deficiencies if it’s main diet is worms, since they are very difficult to gut load. gut loaded crickets are the best thing you can feed a gecko. ask your vet.
Yes true, but meal worms are another option as they are easy to breed and easy to gut load
fat ass motherfucker!! but its kool lol
shes fat
i just got my leopard gecko yesterday and he has not been eating is it because he is scared i am very worried and will he get used to it.
dont worry. this is very normal for a baby and he will eat once he gets comfortable to his home. give him at least one week.
dont worry about it as ur thing is 2 weeks old now he should of eaten. mine only eats if i just put some crickets in his viv and leave them.
YOUR GECKO IS FUCKING FAT!!!!!!!!! but don’t worry, so is mine.
your supposed to let him adjust hes probly been moved around alot(based on my research)
@AcrippledBADGER well then its freakin pregnant! lol
When the Gecko has the worm in it’s mouth.
Start saying Om Nom Nom Nom Nom.
It’s kinda awesome and funny at the same time. XD
