I think mine come from silkworm farms. The link is in the anole caresheet listed on kingsnake.com.

I don't feed mine exclusively silkworms, primarily because they don't seem to like them as much as crickets. My anoles love them, though.

fast movement of the crickets, or a moth flying , the worms seem to just creep along, LOL I have never used silkies.
They remind me of catapillars I played with as a kid, I LIKE them.

I saw a pic of some from a friend the thing was almost 3 inches and he said they actually STAND up and LOOK at you, and they have cute faces.

*** I would wind up keeping them and naming them all , LMAO

PHEve / Eve

I bought some from herpfood.com

My reaction at first seeing them was "Aaaah, they look scary like little aliens." Then I got used to seeing them as caterpillars, which I didn't see in Alaska.

My adult collared lizards wouldn't even eat them and Cory who is usually ravenous ate them hesitantly.

If your lizards are big enough to digest superworms maybe you can switch.
