Ok-- when I bought my first pack of Superworks from Petco for $3.49-- I think there was at least 50 in there and it's still here, it's been 2 month and they're still alive.
The first 2 days my Male Veiled loved them-- ate them like no one business. On the 3rd day
he just starred at them. Now, he never does that with crickets, it's anytime and any house of the day he will eat them.
I figured out why He doesn't like superworms now because they fight back. I also noticed
when I picked up one superwork it whipped it's tail and it's a agressive lil sob. They're not like
earth worms at all--- they are way stronger.
I read else where that superworms can fight back and whip and the Chameleon might not like it.
