feeding supers

[erik775]

i was wondering if i could feed my 5 month old panther almost full grown super worms...he is about 10 in tip of tail to snout...oh yeah has any ones cham ever been bitten by a big super worm...

I'd try to feed a smaller one. The rule of thumb is no bigger than the space between your chams eyes. Ive been guilty and given mine bigger but I try to stay true to that rule. I'm sure your Cham could eat it but might choke on it. Yikes!!!

Between the eyes? Oh wow. I thought it was the width of the mouth.

nope its between the eyes.
i know right leaves few options
i got baby silks there little but i hear there gonna grow super quick i got baby supers dunno how fast they grow. got thosee from mullberry they were the only one i could find with small supers in stock this week. um wax worms may be ok size altho they are high in fat (and are fat looking like a soft soft grub) so i dont like to feed those my baby dont chew well....um pheonix love love love them little full of calcium and my cham oves them! loves them! and affordable compaired to other worms. someone with experience can describe hornworms i hear the term goliath and just know its not for my kids yet.
