"Waxworms are amazing. They are great for any reptile type. About 1inch long, and very fat. They are a great beginner food for baby or sensitive reptiles. Waxworms are very soft and easy to digest, so use them where ever you could use mealworms. Mealworms have a hard, crunchy shell and some species, such as frogs and salamanders (any amphibian really) should never eat mealworms because the mealworms can accually thrive INSIDE your pet and then later burst out their stomachs!! Ahh!
So Waxworms are much better for your pets. They tend to be more expensive than mealworms but they are a great investment.
Use them for Leopard geckos, skinks, chameleons, frogs, salamanders/newts, and even some fish.
For hachling/baby reptiles: feed one waxworm a day or every other day and they will grow much faster and stronger!!
this is a must have for every reptile parent!!!!"
