Anyone use Waxworms?

What are the Pros and Cons? I've used super, horns, and butters but with my little herd growing they are eating me out of house and home and I can get some waxworms pretty cheap.

ya i only use them once a month or so and only one or two worms for each cham, and really only for a bit of variety as they enjoy most other worms more.

I figured that. But I'm looking at it solely for a treat. Hornworms are nice but at $25.00 for 15 and I can get 250 waxworms for the same price it's helping me out being I have 10 large hungry mouths to feed LOL!!

I've thought about that but I'm more of the order them and let em devour them. No waiting. LOL I've used butters too but they can get pricey.
