Nothing bites harder than a meal worm or superworm, and yes, if you don't see your T kill it it will hide and come back to bite it in the ass. Dubias are the same as far as digging and hiding. They don't bite, but I have put in a 1/2" one and a month later find a full grown adult hiding under something. So crickets #1. Where I'm at crickets are a real problem to get in the cold months, so I started a dubia colony, and now have about a 1000, of all sizes from a start of 25. Trouble is only about half of my Ts will eat them, none of the adults will. I gave wax worms once and they loved them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
