Reptiworms & Phoenix Worms

[TimTina]

Anyone have any advice for these? My chams LOVED the silkworms I had but they are only available in small and when I was looking for them, I found "Reptiworms" which are higher in calcium. Should I use as regular feed or treats?????

If it will eat them it's okay to use regularly in addition to other insects. Just make sure your Cham chews them! If they go down whole they might come out whole.

Reptiworms aren't like superworms are they? I heard that superworms if they don't chew them they can eat at your reptiles stomach....not sure if it is true but I have avoided them for now until I found our for sure. They look creepy...

Anyway, are you talking about the Reptiworms or Phoenix worms or both?

Reptiworms and phoenix worms are the same. No, they don't eat their insides. Supers don't do that either. I'd be more worried about a large hornworm than a superworm.
