[QUOTE="kormath, post: 120063, member: 4199"] i can see using canned for small slings, or to mash up to nurse a spider back to health. But most T's like live prey, they like to hunt ;) If you want canned prey you can get mealworms, super worms, etc. for pretty cheap online. I've been ordering from rainbowmealworms for my gecko, think i'll keep doing that rather than struggling to raise roaches. They don't seem to be breeding for me now. Super worms won't pupate if you keep them together in bran, and meal works can be stored in the fridge to keep from pupating. My T's all love worms, even the giant horn worms for the larger ones :) My B. sabulosum is a moody wench, she does a threat pose to anything you put in her enclosure, then she has to settle down for a few minutes before she eats. I gave her a huge fat 2 inch(ish) hornworm last night, She molted not long ago, so she's pretty skinny, i'm guessing the hunger got the best of her, she barely did her typical threat pose before pouncing on the worm. She should be nice and plump after that one :) [/QUOTE]
