Tenebrio obscurus
These are NOT small common mealworms, which are Tenebrio molitor. The black Tenebrio obscurus has several advantages over the common mealworm as a feeder for young chameleons:
1) Adult size is ¾ inch, perfect for younger or small species of chameleons.
2) The movement of the Obscurus is MUCH faster than regular mealworms; think super worms verses mealworms for movement and speed.
3) The skin is softer than a mealworm.
The care for Obscurus is the same as super worms; bran or oat bedding for food, and a hydration source as fruits, vegetables, or water crystals. Do not refrigerate, leave at 75-90 degrees.

BABY Super Worms
Zophobas morio, has rapid movement, screen climbing, and softer skin than mealworms. The adult super worm is too big for baby chameleons, so I am offering BABY super worms for sale. These are about 5/8 inch long.

Bean Beetle Cultures
We culture Callosobruchus maculatus, a tropical, prolific species. The larvae eat black-eyed peas; the adults do not eat. The culture needs no water, the adults need no food; this is a no-care feeder!
If you have baby chameleons, Carpets, or Pygmies, Bean Beetles are a great feeder; they climb screen, plastic, branches and glass, getting within range of your timid eaters, and are the size of Hydei fruit flies.
What are the best things about this feeder? The Bean Beetle is 30% higher in protein than crickets, ounce for ounce! The second amazing fact is the adults do not fly (glide a few inches really) unless the culture is crowded. If the culture is crowded, you get fliers! So you can control your feeder to become a flier! How cool is that??

Rice Flour Beetle Cultures

Wax Worm Cultures
Our Wax Worm Cultures may be all baby Wax Worms, or they may be bigger, getting ready to pupate. Once you get moths, they will mate and lay eggs on the wax paper. Remove the wax paper to a fresh culture. Theses cultured Wax Worms move faster than farmed Wax Worms to get your chameleons attention, and are bigger. You can get extra Wax Worm food from us to produce 4 more cultures (mixture of Wheat Bran, Honey, Corn Syrup, and Glycerin.
Wax Worm Culture $10.00 each, or 4 for $35.00
32-ounce cup of Wax Worm food (no worms)
plus 3 extra cups and lids. $10.00
Store the food in the refrigerator until you use it.
Green Banana Roaches
The GBR is my favorite all-around feeder. With the BRIGHT GREEN color, and the quick movement to catch the chameleons’ attention, this is a hunger strike breaker! Smaller chameleons can still take the adults, and if they escape, they die quickly at room temperature, much faster than Dubia roaches.

The GIANT Green Banana Roach
In the above picture, you see a GIANT adult female next to the smaller regular GBR.
The GIANT Green Banana Roach is 3 times bigger than the regular GBR. The GIANT GBR is a lighter green than the regular GBR, but if you have Jackson chameleon or bigger, the GIANT is for you! The GIANT GBR take 5 minutes of care, once a week. They die quickly at room temperature, much faster than Dubia roaches.

Sipyloidea sipylus, Madagascan Pink Wing Stick Insect
The Pink Wing stick insect is similar to the Indian stick insect in size and color. The differences are that the Pink Wing can fly as an adult, the nymphs are bright green, and are quicker moving. They feed on blackberry leaves and can be housed with Indian stick insects.

Indian Stick Insects
The Indian Stick Insect is the most common stick insect raised for study in universities, classrooms, and as a feeder. Adults reach 5 inches, and the Indian is very soft, so chameleon’s can take a bigger Indian Stick easily. Nymphs and adults can be housed together; they eat Ivy, blackberry, and romaine.

Amazing Insects With Personality!!
Phyllium philippinicum Leaf Insect
The philippinicum leaf insect is one of the easiest of the leaf insects to raise. Similar to the Australian ET stick insect, it is slow moving, and easy to handle. The females grow to about 4-inches long, and are quite bulky. I feed them mostly on wild blackberry leaves.

Shipping
We ship USPS Priority and use an insulated box with a CryoPak temperature regulator inside. The CryoPak heats or cools to maintain 68 degrees in the box. Between the heavier box wall, insulation, and CryoPak, we have had no DOA’s due to temperature or crushing. Nothing worse than opening up a box of dead; our shipping is a bit more, but our guarantee is based on the quality of insects, and the method of shipping.
You will receive a tracking number from USPS via your email.
