Hello! I found this wonderful thread while doing a google for "soldier black fly larvae nutrition".

I've been researching feed-worm nutritional values for feeding turtles (particularly my Box Turtles) and have pretty much decided upon using SBF's for preferential feeding as they are nutritionally FAR superior to mealworms and even crickets. With turtles, the vastly superior calcium content of these larva is especially welcome.

Is the BioPod shipping yet? I've checked the parent website and can't find any purchase information. I'll send GW a PM to see if I can order from him (I'd also like some 'starter' larvae - I've never seen any BSF's in urban Houston).

I guess once I get my colony going I can contribute my observations from the herp side of things \:\)
