I got some of these to try out for my brevs, is there any nutritional value? What do they eat? I just planned on using them as a one time treat but I always like to learn about the stuff I feed to my chameleons.

yep, they are quite popular as food for dart frogs etc, alot of people also use them for smaller chameleons.

Different species
These are related to but not the same as regular silverfish. They do not drink water but get their moisture from humidity. They also do best at much hotter temperatures. 100-106 degrees farenheit. So they wont infest your house if they get loose. Although they have been knowm to be able to live around water heaters.

Similar but not synonymous
They look very similar to the silverfish in your basement, just mottled. They tend to be pests in bakeries where it is very hot like near the ovens or if they are in homes near water heaters. They are called firebrats because their parents are arsonists who move around a lot Actually because they require very hot temperatures. Around 99-106 degrees is good. They can also be fed high quality all natural fish flakes. They get the moisture they need from humidity not from standing water or moisture.
