silkworm size?

[modernjamie]

Hi all,

I have been feeding my two 3-4 month panthers only crickets and I want to add silkworms in their diet. I am about to order some silkworms and I have 2 options to choose in size. Should I get small (1/8-1/2'') or medium (3/4''-1'')? Thanks!

I would go with smalls, they grow really fast and will outgrow what they can eat before you have fed them off.

Thanks for your reply! I'll go with the small ones

Dubias are a great all around feeder, so if he eats them, be happy lol. There are plenty of folks that can't get their chams to eat them.
