I was just thinking about what type of feeder insect would leave the smallest leftover (bolus)...I noticed that softer insects (such as silkworms and waxworms) don't have as much of an exoskeleton as say a superworm...would that translate into fewer leftovers???
I know it might also depend on how hungry a T is, but it would be interesting to see if there is a link between amount/extent of exoskeleton and amount and size of food bolus...and consequently, what might be termed the "efficiency" of a feeder insect...
Out of curiosity though, are there times when T's don't leave any remains?
