The only thing I've found is the one with wheat germ, agar, linseed oil, and other crap, and I found a few posts on various forums that it actually kills the worms, so if you see that, don't try it.

Silkworms look extremely easy to breed IF you have the food for them. I'm looking into a cheap alternative that works. As for the supers you have... I dunno what you should do with them. Maybe sell them on craigslist or donate them to a reptile society.

Make sure you get something to control the heat output. 20-30 gal tanks can reach 120F easy; that'll kill your roaches. You can get an expensive rheostat or just a light dimmer.

Awesome; thanks. X) Now I have to find a cheap food... >_<

Okay first of all, I KNOW tomato leaves are toxic, but you need the smell for moths to lay eggs. So anyway, does anyone know if you could clip a bunch of leaves with some small amount of stem attached from a tomato plant, crush/cut it up well and smear that on what you want the eggs laid on...

You could probably pick up locally at Mulberry Farms, or get cheap shipping. Their address: Fallbrook, CA 92028 They carry hornworms, silkworms, dubia roaches, and lobster roaches.

That's like asking this person why they love corn snakes and breed them or why that person loves crested geckos. We all like this or that reptile for some reason, or maybe no specific reason at all. It's not a crime to just simply like something for it being what it is. I've yet to own a cham...

It's the other way around. They'll eat chow fine. Switching from leaves to chow is hard. IMO, chow is best unless you have a room with a mulberry tree because of possible bugs, toxins, pesticides, ect that could get on the tree from the wind. Silkies are domesticated, so they are fragile to...

However, the longer they're in the fridge the lower the hatch rate.

This is hands down the best info I've found: http://www.wormspit.com/bombyxsilkworms.htm Mulberry Farms has good info, but nothing like that. They will be a great place to buy worms or eggs to start though.

Mulberry Farms is awesome. When I got an order, they placed a heat pack because it was like Dec, and the meal/super worms and dubia roaches all arrived with no dead ones. Customer service is pretty good too.

IMO, a varied diet is what I've been reading when feeding chams. Maybe you could try a small amount of mealworms, some super worms, hornworms, and mainly silkworms. Repti/Calci/Phoenix worms are really small, as are butterworms, but I guss you could try those. Mulberry Farms has all of these.

Mulberry Farms has all of those and in different sizes.

Dark mealworms? I've never heard of these.

I hate crickets. :D Not a problem since I already have a little mealworm colony, some dubias, and am looking into horn worms, silkworms, super worms, and lobster roaches. Omn nom nom nom. I did see that someone said that their dry feeder gut load with a CRAPLOAD of parsley flakes...

I'm pretty sure I could handle it, I just don't want to get something that will end up being too big for the first cham I get and overwhelming me. xD Like a male panther. ~2 feet of chamy goodness might be a bit too big for me, and heavy, I'm sure. I'll be more careful with asking questions...

I do think the Jackson's is what I'm looking for... I definitely like all the looks on them I'm finding from a quick Google images search (especially the blue ones, holy crap. o_o), and I think the body size and shape agrees with my eye. The slightly better life span is a definite plus. I like...

So I've been doing research off and on about chams for a few months, and I have had no luck figuring out what species I want. I was originally looking at panthers, but decided I wasn't dead set on one and figured I'd ask around. I'm not picky about color. With reptiles, I like morphs, but I...

IMO, there is nothing wrong with Petco's crickets, but they're somewhat expensive, and I'm sure if you bought them from somewhere like Mulberry Farms they would have a hardier stain to ship you, and feed them better. I only bought them from Petco because when I had a leo, it was convinient, and...

Cute little buggers you got. It's a shame that I've never seen grasshoppers for sale as feeders; my rats love the canned ones, and the ones we have locally here are absolute buggers to catch (plus they either come in lots of colors or cross breed like rabbits).
