i think they had wax worms too
i was wondering more about like.. is it safe to feed a bug initially inteded for fishing - but i suppose they would likely raise the same way huh? heh.
so yeah if no one has thought about checking walmart... i guess they have some stuff... i think the prices seemed decent too, i think the butter worms ended up being about 20 cents each or something.. it was 4 dollars a container, the other stuff was cheaper.

did you know that Ghann's Crickets originally started decades upon decades ago selling, traveling by car selling crickets as fishing bait?
you can feed off your cham virtually any insect as long as you know its not affected by pesticides or it isnt a poisonous butterfly, moth, spider or centipede. i would be careful about bees as well. but chams have been known to eat bees without problems.
im sure we all know though, that NO keeper in their right mind would waste time catching bees and risk getting stung themselves lol

My friends chameleon lost his tongue from eating a bee!
although you are absolutely correct, they usually eat them without problems. Firefly's are incredibly toxic, there is a member on here who lost a bunch of bearded dragons that were eating fireflies, they were so toxic that most of the dragons died before even swallowing!!!! Crazy huh? All that aside I love feeding safe wild caught insects and great story about Ghans I didn't know that p.s how is the "devil child"

I think you have to actually go to the store I don't think they would have it online. It would be in the fishing bait section of the store... they usially have a little fridge with a few worms variates and nighcrawlers

exactly what dez said. i wouldn't lie to you though, they definitely have them in my area. i think it was like 3.99 for 20 (for the butterworms), something like that. i havent been around the block as far as buying insects but i think thats pretty good. they seemed to have reasonable prices on all the worms though, i just didnt take note of exact prices/quantities.

the last thing I would think Ben is that you would lie about this!!
thank you to both of you.
Unfortunately in this town they wont allow any type of "box" store. drives me nuts!, but they also dont allow billboard signs, which I like!
Guess I will have to stick to coastal and mulberry!
