I need advice about silkworms.

[Rocco105]

i am soon getting a 4 month female veiled chameleon and in what stage should i feed them to her?

Welcome to the forums. A 4 month old veiled would be able to eat small silkworms. The rule of thumb it to not feed chams anything bigger than the space between their eyes. I have a blog on the care of young veileds that might help you with your new female. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blo...-keepers-young-veiled-panther-chameleons.html

what would be that space on a 4 mos old?

I heard they do make exceptions on silkworms due to their soft bodiness. ;p

They make very big expections towards their soft body.

An adult panther can easily destroy a nice 2.5 incher.

True, but a new keeper of chameleons could read the post as an exception and believe all soft bodied insects (or what they think is soft) are an exception and it could cause some.... issues.
