SILKWORMS? egg or worm kit?

[BrianIntheNo]

So i want to get some silkworms, so i can offer my cham some more diversity in his diet. as of now his main food is crickets with waxworms as a treat. anyways my question is do u think i should order the egg kit or the worm kit from coastal silkworms , here is a link : http://coastalsilkworms.com/store/index.php?cPath=7

also any feedback on this company would be appreciated. thanks

Start off with the live worm kit, and see how you do. The eggs are alot more work.

Thanks...i will go with the worm kit. I have been to like 6 different places around town and nobody has them. So I am finally giving in and going to order them online.

Good info Jay. FYI: My first couple of batches of eggs went bad and everything died but you will learn through trial and error, even if you read a whole book on silkworms you will learn more when you go though the process yourself.
