[Myth or No] Leo's addicted to Wax Worms!
Ok so i heard leo's can get addicted to wax worms. Is this true? if so will they stop eating all other foods if they get addicted to them? I have never fed mine waxies really maybe 2wice but never enoguh for her to get addicted. Also if they get addicted to them what is another healthy treat to help gain weight after laying?

Well I thought Cleo was pregnant the 2nd week I had her and started to fatten her up with waxies and some hornworms, she did go back to eating mealies but not the older ones that were soon to pupate. I am new to this but that was my experience. Done this 3 different times now but never as a staple feeder, she mostly was eating mealies from the last owners.

They most definitely can get addicted to waxworms, and would slowly reject other feeders for yummy fatty waxworms. I do use them sometimes for my breeding females, but only if it's a female that I see is dropping too much weight.
Ideally you want to simply feed them healthy feeders. Give them dubia roaches for a good protein shot (egg development requires protein), and give them superworm/mealworms for fat content (supers are quite fatty as is, don't really need to take it up to waxworms).
