Haha when I first moved to VA I went to the bait store and asked for maggots. They just stared at me. My mounted red ear bluegill was caught on a pimen with maggots! I grew up with themEW-w-w! I know I'm going to have nightmares about maggots crawling on me. I have an ornate box turtle rescue that absolutely will not eat and she's getting sicker and weaker by the day. I've exhausted all the tricks in my bag-o-tricks. So I went online and ordered some wax worms, which arrived today. I got out my trusty tweezers and dropped a couple in front of the turtle, and SUCCESS!! She ate! But yee gads! MAGGOTS???
