I'm looking online at lllreptile.com and don't really know which kind of worms to buy my 3-4 month old veiled. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking about buying waxworms. Are those okay for them to eat (Nutrition and size wise?)

supers, silkies, wax worms... I would stay away from horns (goliaths) just because they grow too fast lol... I got some by mistake for a panther the same age and they outgrew his mouth in two days lol
EDIT: If your looking at wax worms they need to be a treat... They are overtly high in fat and would not make a good staple food in any sense

Small silkworms and small butterworms would be best nutirionally. Small gutloaded superworms wouldnt hurt. Waxworms provide almost nothing nutritionally, so dont get those. Soldier fly maggots (called pheonix worms or calci worms) are also an option, but IMHO more for treats than regular use. Mealworms are also a good option for treats.

Silkworms are Ozzies most favorite! I haven't tried butterworms so those are next on my list but I have gotten phoenix worms and dubia roaches and Ozzie didn't eat them. I think the hornworms he was afraid of and good reason as they were bigger than him LOL!

The same thing mentioned above.
My 2.5 month old will only eat crickets. So far the last week I've tried silks, dubias and Phoenix and he's only ate 2 Dubias and 2 silks out of those. I'm going to probably have to give my worms away before they die
