Pet store won't let me get hornworms!

[Hamelton2.0]

So I went to a reptile store and asked for hornworms. They wouldn't let me buy any because they were "too big". They were clearly my chameleons size, being smaller than the space between his eyes, and no matter what I tell them they won't let me purchase any. So now I'm stuck with roaches and mealworms. Will this be good for my two month old veild to last him a few weeks? By the way I just got him two days ago and he's been eating and drinking like a pro if that helps anything.

How would they know they are too big? Maybe call the manager? Scrap the mealworms, those are good for nothing. Roaches, superworms, silkworms, crickets, phoenix worms are all good.

Ok thank you so much! I will definitely do something to get the hornworms.

Tell the pet store to order some smaller size hornworm or u will go somewhere online to purchase them,and mealworms is not a good choice for ur baby cham,no nutrition value n the hard shell can cause digestive problem like pooping difficulty.

I think I will just go straight online and order silkworms along with hornworms since the pet store doesn't carry silkworms. Also what are the difference between zebra, reverse zebra, pink and green silkworms?

To add to my question are any of them more hardy or grow faster?

 

[alphakenc]

In my opinion they are all the same species of silkworm. These minor color variations are like people having different color hair and eyes. You inherit them from your parents, but we're all the same kind of people.if ur cham like to eat silkworm,he will eat all these u mentioned.

I will leave that question to some bug expert like @nick barta
I believe the temperature plays an important factor.

Although her profile says shes 13, so i dont think any of her friends could drive..

I tried to get my mom to buy some but they said the same thing to her. So I guess I'll just get them online there cheaper anyways

And yes none of my friends can drive, but my older sister has her permit!

Paypal still need tie to a bank account,and most of the seller will want to verify the buyer's address for delivery and fraud prevention purposes.

Tell them you are using them for a birthday cake.
