I think I bought 250 1/2 inch silkworms and two 1/2 bags of powdered chow from them. I think they're great and my beardie loves them. I've had my silkies for about 3 weeks or so and I still haven't used up even one batch of silkworm chow.

Anyway, here's a link to a silkworm thread you might like to read...actually, it's a link to the first post of the thread...just keep going to the next message.

Silkworms are great to feed your reptiles and very easy to care for. A pound of silkworm chow can raise 500 or more silkworms from egg to 2" so it lasts a fair bit.
