Question Waxworms? butterworms? silkworms? mealworms? puter worms?

Soooo much to figure out! Which worm is most nutritious and best to feed leos?

W/loaded crix, of course...

That is good info, thanks. But what about butterworms, supposed to be so good for its double content of calcium? Are they a better choice than crix, then?

The butterworms are actually better than waxworms, they look like waxies but with color.

I feed crickets, super worms, mealworms, silk worms, and butter worms to all my geckos and give them waxies as a treat. I just give them a bit of variety.

Shayna, where do you get your butterworms? Sources out there seem to be so scarce

So far only none of my leopard geckos has taken a silkworm, but my chameleons love them!

Ditto on that. Silkworms were a good waste of $30.

Now he tells me...

Two of my leos love mealworms. My snow only eats crickets and my picta does not even bother sniffing them. I hope they eat the freakin' silkworms when they arrive...

What about butterworms (yeah, bought those too ) Do you guys feed them to your lizards at all?

all my geckos seemed to like them even my crested, He however wouldn't eat a silkworm either
and my leo ate one i think by mistake.

They're $1 each up here in Canada at a petstore... Really too expensive for me. I've noticed as well that very few webpages offer them.

I have a leo with an identity crisis: I am sure she believes she was born a pig. She is a very good feeder, hopefully she'll eat the silkworms I just bought, because if the others are anything like you guys', forget it...
