I've fed these worms a few times. Mostly for treats when I have a couple extra bucks I get the Goliath, silk, or butter worms for added variety and treats. Goliath worms get around 4 inches long, I know someone who gives it to gravid females to help fatten them between laying.

instead of pinkies some do use the goliath worm or tomato hornworm to fatten up their females, its a really pretty worm and it gets HUGE. You can buy them at LLLreptile, but you only get about 10-15 worms, which is great for treats they arent an everyday sort of thing.

but they are also fatty and expensive so they make great treats especially because of their size and fat content they make great treats for females that just laid, as an alternative to pinkies.
