We did it!!!

[BuddhaBud]

A couple months ago we had this crazy idea to attempt breeding our own hornworms.. After much trial & error, we now have our first successful hornworm hatchlings! We collected about 40 tiny squirmy worms tonight & have an intimidating amount of viable eggs yet to hatch...

...And now to keep them alive long enough to make it to Buddha's enclosure!

Aww, thank you!! I was concerned the moths weren't pairing up since some of the males couldn't fly.. clearly they worked it out lol

Definitely! Currently we're paying $0.85 per worm at the reptile store so.. this will help haha

Wow, quite pricey. They are so tiny! Look at those spikes!

Shoot! You've got dirt-cheap pricing! We have to pay $4.99 for 1 full size worm in a box!

My cham didn't like them either! I'm glad she chose to dislike the expensive feeders
