different silk worms.

[Hoj]

so i went and got a few worms today and there were these different looking ones in the bin than normal. they are from my local pet shop and i dont know the supplier, but i thought someone on here might be able to give me the low down on these guys.
they seem totally healty and livley and plump but have the dark coloration show.

any ideas???

thanks

Yeah they're called reverse silkworms can't remember the specific name though

They have them here as Black Silkworms. Supposedly very rare. Along with some other cool varieties I haven't seen.

i would say tigers but tigers have tiny fur that makes them soft i think so it COULD BE tigers but they also look like zebra silkworms i get those ALL the time the zebras are stronger and have a way less die-off rate

Looks like a tiger silk to me
