Theoretically, no. But I always have massive die-offs with anything
under about 1/3".

They are small and seem pretty soft. (They certainly smush easily when I
try to catch them singly!) He did seem interested when i put a few in
yesterday, but I couldn't tell if he caught the ones he lunched at or if
they disappeared!

Well I'll have to see about getting some more then. Locally I haven't
found anyone who carries them quite small enough for this guy (and they
are outrageous anyway, like 10 cent each!) (I recently moved from a town
where I didn't have these supply problems thanks to a good reptile shop
locally.)
BTW, are termites ever used for geckos? I've been finding some lately
on some old pieces of firewood at my new house, have wondered about
feeding them. They look nice and soft and plump.
Thanks again!
