Looking for high quality feeder worms

[Lille]

I've searched and searched and I'm just not finding what I want. I'm looking for a website that sells Mealworms, Phoenix worms, maybe some wax worms and any other optional crawling insect and I'm having a really hard time finding a place that sells them all. That is exept www.wormman.com which so far I'm not hearing good things about.

I hate to have to order my different feeders from 2-3 different sites. It makes it a hassle. But at the same time I'm obligated to because my cham loves used to his variety of food choices.

Does anyone order from a site they would actually recommend? I like www.exoticNutrition.com but they don't have the full variety I'm looking for.

[Edit: I'm looking at www.mulberryfarms.com does anyone have experience working with them?]

I'd cut out the mealworms and waxies. I don't use phoenix worms myself. Have you thought about superworms and silkworms? Ask Dave @ Georgia Bugs. He's a sponsor on here, and he is greaaaat to deal with.

My cham is still a little to small for superworms, he's less than 6 months. He can eat med-large mealworms. I was looking into silkworms as a tasty alternative to waxworms, but the price turned me off initially. Do you recommend buying the worms or buying eggs and hatching them?

If you do a google search for Silkworm.com, you should find something there. I can't remember the website exactly, but I purchase no only phoenix worms, but also meal worms and wax worms.

You can also look at reptiledirect.com. I just went a reptile expo over the weekend and he sells all kinds of feeders.

Meal worms are garbage for chams-high fat-high and hard to digest, wax worms are high in fat and should only be an occassional treat. Silkworms are most excellent and most expensive, I buy them at Coastalsilkworms.com, Supers are great and cheap-$20 for 1000 at Lucky Lure Crickets. At 6 months your cham should be able to eat Supers.

Waxworms and mealworms are fatty...

I wouldnt use waxies nor mealies. If you want something nutritous and as a good treat. Silkworms is where its at. Hatching eggs is sooooo much cheaper than buying the worms!

Hornworms are great for your guy to gain weight, and theyre juicey... very juicey.

Superworms are awesome, but, they seem to get chameleons hooked for just them.

3/4 inch crickets are the best IMO. Roaches are great, especially right after a fresh molt.
