wax worms

[greenguy420]

I tried looking for info about wax worm moths and if they are ok to feed to my cham, I figure safe as a worm safe as a moth but is rather be sure before I throw them in

They're safe.

Alright cool, probably a noob question, but thanks

I know they're safe. However I have read on here before that wax worm moths don't provide much nutritional value as the regular wax worms. I guess they use up most of their nutrients during their transformation stage...But hey what the heck, I don't see any harm in feeding him the moths every once in a while. Just remember that the wax worms have the good stuff over the moths.

waxworms dont have much nitrional value to start with, moths less so. But the chameleons like stuff that flies and flutters, so for interest only sake waxmoths are nice to have now and then

What should the wax worms be fed if anything? I'm trying to fatten my cham up (she's recovering from an infection and lost quite a bit of weight).
