[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 189300, member: 29323"] How old / big is it going to be? I feed all of my small slings beheaded mealworms. The reason we take the head off, is that it stops the mealworm from burrowing & then potentially reappearing later as a beetle, which could do serious harm to a T. The advantages of beheading include. It gives the sling easy access to the soft inner of the mealworm. The mealworm remains able to move for well over 24 hours, so it is a good start towards live food & it is how they would naturally find some food in the wild. I give all of my larger slings live food. [/QUOTE]
