It was around 2'' or bigger. one of the ones I kept for a moth.
OMG! I knew they could hold on to things tight but didn’t know they bite that hard!
That's what I thought, so I got all confused when I read that he just eats 2 worms a week,lol. I was thinking, I know she spoils that boy rotten, am I missing something?? Lol
It bit you? No way, that's crazy.
Trust me, Bolt has me under his complete control. He gets what ever he wants.
Oh my gosh I love that so much!!!
Yeah whatever you read lied lol. Hornworm bites can cause mouth rot for chams. They tend to grab on pretty good. And when the cham targets them from the back end the worm can whip around and latch on. I whack em a bit to disorientate them if I feel they are a risk to Beman. Then he can take them down without me worrying.
I am glad Picasso doesn’t like hornworms. It is one less worry for me.
This is mean but I wait until the biggest hoppers molt and feed them off. They’re so soft and chewy for Bert and Tony. And the superworms too. When I see a white superworm I get giddy like ooooo here you go guys!Yall increase your feeder size so much faster than I ever did with growing babies. Heck I still keep Beman on 1/2 inch sized feeders to avoid mouth injuryYes, I may be a helicopter cham-parent though.
I like the idea of disarming them. Maybe a quick snip of the scissors to take off the mandibles. I did this with cicada killers, removed their stinger with scissors. I feel like Sid from Toy Story when I do it.
Just curious why? It’s usually soft and pliable. It’s the other end that is nasty.
Aweeee how cool. I had a baby about a year ago, the new caretakers send me this picture. It's so cool. His name is beetlejuice
It is huh. I dunno why I do that, I've been doing it since I started w hornworns. I guess I should just leave it. Lol.
Both are so beautiful! I love Bonnie’s purplesHello everyone! Hercules has begun shedding today!!! I've been looking at all your posts and it is amazing how different all of the babies look!!! I can't wait to see how he looks after this shed. Bonnie should start shedding soon too -- she is just the sweetest little girl I have ever had. Her personality is so docile and sweet, I talk to her in the morning and she comes to the front of the cage to say hello whenever I walk by.
Oh my gosh! he is adorable! The only mark Sherbert has had was an oddly shaped triangle...
Aweee they are both looking amazing. Wow Bonnie looks beautiful, love that deep maroon/purple color she's showing and am so happy to hear that she's a sweetheart. How about Hercules? Is he friendly?Hello everyone! Hercules has begun shedding today!!! I've been looking at all your posts and it is amazing how different all of the babies look!!!
