Thanks

I'd steer away from Waxworms all together mate. Leos can get addicted to them and refuse other food. They contain MASSES of fat and not a lot of good stuff. Leave them alone

as above, but if you wish to offer them, one or two a week or every other week.

i would personaly only feed them 2-3 a week MAXIMUM for fattening up for breeding, otherwise just 1-2 a week for the occasional treat.
