[QUOTE="Vespertino, post: 284426, member: 8248"] Oh I never intended to feed her my hair, she sorta decided she wanted to chew on it while she was climbing on my head. I usually feed them a little of everything from my garden when it comes to bugs (except venomous stuff), and use store bought worms in between when I don't catch anything in the yard (and I gut-load those on apple and lettuce first). Other than the mismolt related stuff I haven't had any problems with what they've eaten as far as I can tell. I'm not sure Carolinas are ones that are as insect diet specific other types. They do get picky and don't always eat what I catch in the yard. I noticed they don't like green army cutworms but they LOVE tomato hornworms. They used to like small leaf-hoppers when they were little but now they won't touch 'em. But they loved a BIG grasshopper that was stupid enough to stay in one spot on my tomato plants, chewing the leaves off like a chainsaw... Big mongrel, almost 4 inches long, that bastard had a date with a pair of tweezers and an xacto blade- I chopped it up into pieces and fed it to the girls. Kermit (one of the girls) ate the entire skull down to the antennae. [/QUOTE]
