Hornworms

[ChrisZ]

Hi,

I am from the Netherlands and would like to feed some hornworms to my chameleons. Unfortunately I cannot aquire any here in Holland.

My question is: do you think it is possible to ship the worms (or eggs) to the Netherlands? Also I'm looking for a good caresheet for them.

If any one if willing to ship them to me please let me know. Obviously I will pay for them!!

I'm sure someone else will jump in here, as these type of requests pop up occasionally.



You have to be very careful about shipping animals, insects, eggs, plants, etc over international borders. You could be (and probably would be) breaking all sorts of federal and international regulations.



Just in case a kind hearted member volunteers to send you eggs, I don't want you guys to get into trouble

Never thought about that... I've contacted greatlakehornworms and im curious what they will say. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because shipping them through America and shipping through the Netherlands is totally legal.

Just be careful and make sure it's done legally, that's all. Some countries ban them as agricultural pests, so you don't want to get fined
