Waxworms
276
Waxworms are the larval stage of the Greater Wax Moth (Galleria mellonella). These soft-bodied larvae make excellent treats for reptiles, amphibians, and birds.
Due to their naturally high-fat content, waxworms should only be given as treats, never as a staple feeder. If you’re looking for a staple feeder, we recommend dubia roaches and NutriGrubs instead. Waxworms should always be lightly dusted with calcium powder prior to feeding.
-----
Waxworms will last up to two weeks at room temperature. They can be kept cool at 50-60 degrees, where they become dormant and will last up to 4 weeks. Do not cool waxworms past 50°F.
They are ideally kept in a wine cooler and must be stored at low humidity. If the bedding feels moist when they arrive, take the lid off for a while to let them dry out.
Remove any blackened dead worms and cocoons daily.

United StatesMy reptiles enjoyed the fat and juicy waxmorms.
United StatesThe waxworms were packed and good. I did see a couple dead ones, but these are just treats so I am really not worried about that. Came as expected otherwise.
United StatesFast shipping and arrival. Healthy bugs packaged very well. Fair price. Will purchase again.
United StatesWe order Nutrigrubs, BSFL, Hornworms, Meal worms & Wax worms for our guy. He loves everything. Everything shows up pretty much alive and fresh. The horn worms are a little smaller than normal but he loves them!
United StatesGood worms. Not my bearded dragons favorite (if he could, he’d eat nothing but super worms and horn worms), but they are always plentiful, alive, and delivered in a few days!
United StatesMy gecko's loves them and I'll be ordering them soon
