Silkworms - Ships at 3/8"-1"

Description: WE SHIP THESE WORMS OUT AT IN BETWEEN 3/8"-1" Reptiles consuming silkworms engage in a fascinating and nutritionally beneficial dietary practice. Silkworms, the larvae of the silk moth (Bombyx mori), serve as a valuable source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals for various reptilian species. This feeding behavior is prevalent among reptiles such as bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, and certain snake species.Silkworm cups come with silkworms, chow and material for them to climb on. These cups are designed to be stored upside down with the food on top so that the waste falls down for easy cleaning. Silkworms can grow fast when kept at room temperature up to 80 degrees, often doubling in size nearly every week. The food can last up to 2 weeks for 20 silkworms when kept at room temperature. To slow the growth of the worms you can keep them cooler (60 degrees) which may extend the life and food by an additional 1-2weeks. If it's too cold the worms will stop eating and die. Silkworms are a great feeder for a variety of reptiles and very hard to find! We have a limited number of silkworm cup available each week. Due to the silkworm batch rotation we have the sizes will vary from small (3/8”) to slightly larger (1”). At 1” they grow fast and become more hardy. If they reach 2-3” in length they are at the size to begin spinning a cocoon and will fall to the bottomof the cup. You may need to purchase additional food if you want them to reach this size. If mold starts to grow in the cup, carefully remove it so that it does not spread. The mold is usually causedby excessive moisture. WE SHIP SILKWORMS OUT MONDAY-THURSDAY VIA USPS (3-5 BUSINESS DAYS) AND FEDEX/UPS 2DAY. As you all know, feedback is a very important part of buying and selling on eBay.
