Hey y’all. Just wondering how big is too big of a hornworm for my little 3 1/2 month male panther?
I ordered a bunch of feeders from joshes frogs, unfortunately my hornworm snack pack has a bunch of worms that look way too big for him. I would hate to have all these guys go to waste.

let them pupate into moths
 
Depends on the size of your cham. My almost 4 month old Veiled I give no longer then 1 inch long. Only hand feed these... And try to do it so that they take the head first. Lowers bite risk. I feed even my adult no larger then 1.5 inches because their bite is worse the larger they get. Lowers risk of bite to the mouth and infection leading to mouth rot.
