silkworm eggs

[chamer]

I have my first batch of silkworm eggs in the fridge, I have taken out only a few and put on papertowel in closed container. Is this OK? I have looked thru older threads to find a lot of information on raising them but remember reading this somewhere. I may have baby chams coming soon and wanted to feed them baby silk worms and pin head crickets. Can they eat the silk worms? Any information would be a help. thanks

Certainly yes young chameleons can eat small silkworms.

I dont use lids. You dont want it too moist / humid in the container, and once you start adding food.... well I just dont use lids. The silkies dont go far, if you keep them fed. Room temp is adequate.

Here are some links regarding silkworms that you may find useful.

Thanks for all the information that helped a lot! Can I move just a few of the glued ones out of the dish? If so with anything specific
