Those are probably housefly larvae, not soldier fly larvae (phoenix/calci worms).

+1 - I hate doing it (+1) but I agree with tony and didn't know what else to say/do besides +ing his comment haha

Haha I do it some times because its just plain out dumb to say the same thing as somebody already said unless you have something else to add.

I'm gonna send Grubco a E-mail about it.

I also think those are house fly larva, not solider fly. Solider fly larva is usually a darker color.

Jacob,

has Grubco emailed you back?????

 

[T-ReXx]

I order regularly from grubco and have ordered these before for fishing. They are house fly larva, not soldier fly. Plain old, every day, maggots.

 

[BrilliantEraser]

Yup, they're housefly larva. I saw them last week and got really excited too, Jake. :laugh:

And maggots is such a gross word.

Maggots. Maggggggggots. Ew.

 

[thegeckoguy23]

I searched a little bit on other forums, they can be fed and people have used them as feeders before, here is what i found..

Moisture 68.54
Ash 1.44
Protein 16.10
Fat 8.21
Calories/Fat 77.73
Calcium (ml/100 grs) 32.90

**Also grubco has their own Nutritional Values page in which they have the values of the "blue bottle fly larvae"..its not to far off from the one i posted..**

I found a place that has black soldier fly grubs for a good price! I just bought some last week and got them pretty quick. Also, pricing was really cheap too!!!
The website is Reptiworms.com . . .

I love phoenix worms but hate buying online because never fails... they always arrive dead or mostly dead.

 

[Mvanschoick]

I got my reptiworms in 2 days and all were alive. They also have live arrival guarantee and were super cheap.

Sorry! Overly excited! I've got 5 beardies and 2 geckos and i was having a really hard time finding crickets and stuff to feed them. Plus my beardie "G" wasn't eating and getting really skinny.
