Hello everyone,
I bought waxworms and there was this little guy with them. Does anybody know what is this? It is hairy. Is it edable for the cham?
And the waxworm's beatle is edable?

Thank you!
 
Forgot the picture :)

Those are what most people call "cleaner crew" bugs. They are used in bug containers to eat the "remaining matter" from the other bugs. I personally don't advise feeding off these little bugs to any reptile, being as they are a "garbage" bug
 
It is a larvae of a dermestid bettle. The larvae have Velcro like hairs so I would skip them as a feeder but feedingthe occasional bettle won't hurt anything.

Those things cost a buck a worm on the taxidermy circuit. Go ahead and look on ebay, i bet 10 beetles are $15 shipped.
 
Ok, I keep it then.
And what about the waxworm's beatle? I assume if the worm is edable, the beatle is that too?!
