if u have ne ?'s at all plz ask!!! we're all here 4 the love of our lil dinosaurs & 2 share our knowledge. as a word of caution, most new beardie owners are mis-informed that mealworms are a good staple diet. plz kno these are actually in fact, 1 of the worst feeder insects 2 feed ur dragon. they have a hard exo-skeleton that can be quite a bit harder 2 digest(possibly cause impaction)& they have a very high fat content. just some good info i normally see 1st time beardie parent's not realizing. 
once again, welcome!!!!

??? In my experience a good sized tail base, has always been a sign of a 'Healthy' Dragon & is one of the things to look for when purchasing a BD. ??? To use words like 'terribly high'. If you properly gutload, the 'Fat'% is considerably lower. You are surely not acquiring it from the attached document that you submitted to me in conversation, as ...
That I thoroughly thank you for, because, had you actually read it, it fully supports my statements that the majority of the concerns pertaining to mealworms are MYTH. It also states that Mealworms have less Chitin/Exoskeleton than crix, as does the scientific study document in the thread, Mealie Basher 'Challenge'. And I will be adding that PDF file to that thread.
I don't feel that it is proper to present personal preference &/or opinion, being falsely stated as fact based observation & offering info that has not even been read, that actually provides the polar opposite information that it was intended to. There is enough confusion out there, without adding to it.
& not possibly detrimental to the health of the animals? If it is 'Bashing' to point this activity out &\or offense is taken, so be it.

not sit here & get put in the spotlight & get grilled bout silly things. or shud we just ALL on this forum leave all the feedback 2 come from u germ?! okay....there is NO ACTUAL scientific proof pertaining 2 the "mealworm myth" BUT i myself still caution against them! there IS scientific proof that using sand can cause impaction & this & that, but yet ppl still use sand?! so even if there wuz scientific proof against mealworms, wud that change nething neways?! look if i have 2 sit here & be grilled bout something, when i had already shrugged it off & continue 2 "justify" my posts, than wut's the point of this forum? ur making this a big ol' mess & i think we all get ur point(s) germ, soooo thanks 4 making things clearer than clear 4 us all 2 see!!!! cuz i wuz ready 2 drop this whole thing yesterday when "u proved me wrong" & proved ur point YESTERDAY! & just so it's crystal clear 4 EVERY1 2 SEE, thank u 4 correcting me 4 wording my comments incorrectly germ! i'll be extra cautious w/wut i say next time!
I would be interested in that, pertaining to clean, natural, strained/sifted sand, also. Always willing to learn from good info, particularly scientific proof.
When stated as facts, yes, I do believe that a person should be able to verify their source of info & back up statements when they are questionable. If our posts can not be questioned, I will echo, What is the point of a Forum? I was not aware that clear, explained, documented info & the search for fact based knowledge, was detrimental to anyone or anything.
