[malt_geckos]

I need to know the best place to buy silk worms and how to keep them. The beardies are in for a surprise from mama. :main_thumbsup:

I've gotten mine here:
http://www.mulberryfarms.com/super2.htm

They have a lot of info on them. I only buy one container at a time.

For some reason, it says I can't order them?? I sent an email to the place asking what was up. I think I'll try some hornworms too.

My beardeds loved the Hornworms though be prepared for green gunk over their faces. Silkworms I would recommend over Hornworms just because its not as Messy.

 

[malt_geckos]

Yeah, I'm going to try the small hornworms I think.

Also another Place I`ve ordered from is Coastal Silkworms they are located in Jacksonville which might save you guys money on shipping.

Hornworms grow VERY fast, feed them off relatively quick.

My bearded dragon loves the hornworms, too. They get big and are super messy, but he gets excited when he sees them.

lol, messy isn't a huge issue...I saw how they explode when the beardies chomp into them. lol.
