BIG HUGE green soft bodied worms. grow very fast and get WAY too big for leos. small ones are great, but you have to feed them off fast.

I agree. Hornworms are the larvaes of a certain moth species. These worms are light green in color, and grow really fast, too large for leos to eat. These worms are mainly for large chameleons.

Click the link below, and click on FAQ for more specific information. Also, remember to click on "Order Hornworms and Chow" in the left navigation bar.

Tomato and Tobacco are obviously not safe gutloads when feeding to reptiles

Big, ugly green worms :-]
I believe they are mostly feed to chameleons and bearded dragons. They get way to big for a leo, but another soft worm chice would be a silkworm, leos can eat the adults, and loove them. (or at least my leos do)
